CAB's two month doc appt

we visited the doctor this morning for baby chase's two month appointment. there were some wagers going on about how much we thought he would weigh. most of us thought at least 11 pounds. some said they thought he would weigh more. well... the stats are in:

weight - 10lbs and 14ozs (much less than we expected. maybe we need to build up our arm muscles). this puts him in the 32nd percentile - down from 44 at his one month visit. he's gained about a pound and a half since his last visit, but in the first month he gained about three pounds. so, things have slowed down quite a bit.

length - 21.5 inches. and this is just the 5th percentile. he's a shorty for now! we'll be able to see how he's trending and make predictions, but not until he's 2.

head - 14 inches around.

he's doing well... the hard part came towards the end when he had to get four vaccinations. fortunately, they now combine three into one shot, so he only had to get one shot to each thigh. but he still cried out for a bit just after and then settled down a few minutes later. here he is in daddy's arms...


we also had the doctor check out his belly button hernia. they said the same thing as last month... it's something to watch, but nothing for us to do now. we're back at home now and i'm really trying to get him to like the swing :)... we'll see.
