2 Month Check-Up

And what a healthy kid he is!! He's in the 90th percentile for height and weight (we'll get to that in a second) and everything looks great. More importantly, he flirted up a storm with the nurses -- there were smiles, giggles, gurgles, the whole nine yards. His eyes tracked the pretty nurses all over the room. All went swimmingly, until the end, when Cody had his first shots. : ( It went something like this:


But I cried more, I think. It was the high-pitched screams, which I never hear, that undid me. Cody recovered faster than I did, though. He's feeling a little punky and willingly went to sleep in his crib (which says a lot) but other than that, he's a champ. Plus, he gets more Baby Percocet Tylenol -- and more of it (a higher dosage) than when he was sick.

Want to know why? Because he weighed in at...wait for it...

THIRTEEN POUNDS, NINE OUNCES. That's right. You heard me. I should have gone with my original guess of 14 pounds but I told myself that was crazy. Looks like Monika guessed the closest, so she will be getting the prize. : )

THIRTEEN POUNDS, NINE OUNCES!!!!! And, he's 24 inches long. That's three inches more than at his last check-up. And only 37 inches shorter than his mom. He still has my eyes -- let's hope he gets JVL's legs.

Here he is, recovering from the day's trauma with Daddy.


Update: See? Totally recovered. : ) Mommy's still a little shaky though. I can't believe we have to do this again in 2 months!
