Here is the description of how to administer Alex's eye ointment:
Tilt your head back, look up and gently pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Place 1/2 inch strip of ointment into the pouch. Gently close the eye and roll the eyeball in all directions to spread the medication. Try not to blink and do not rub the eye...
I mean seriously - have they ever tried that on a 2 month old....... I may ask at my appointment if there are drops we can use instead - much easier to get drops in a moving target then some ointment which you have to be basically touching the eye to get in..... We managed so far by using Eric's great idea and basically doing it while he is sleeping so he doesn't move so much..

Sneak Preview and Bonus Video
Alex has his 2 month well visit this Thursday (yes, slightly late - busy pediatrician's office). Well today we had a quick unexpected visit to the doctor...This morning, while he was stretching, Alex decided to try to gouge his eye out and he scratched himself on the very inner corner of his eye and some blood came out of his eye as it was tearing up - not a fun sight for a mom. Called the doctor and the nurse said the doctor wanted to check it out - so we went in...the eye is completely fine (yeah)... as long as we didn't catch the swine flu while we were there - all is well!
Now to the sneak preview...they do weigh him every visit and Alex weighed in at 13 lbs 10 oz (clothed) this morning!!! Can't wait to see his height and percentages, etc. on Thursday..... will keep you posted...
And here is a new video ... it is hard for me to video him and get him to smile at the same time b/c he gets distracted by the camera, so we will make a new one with Eric's help this week... (with a little more exciting dialogue ;)) but apparently my mom watches the bath one everyday, so I thought she could use a new one ;)
