We packed up for our usual Everest-style expedition to go anywhere and took ourselves off to Timmy's 2 month well-baby appointment. I suspected he was growing apace, but the pediatrician (who we LOVE) confirmed it when she said, "Mommy must be making cream because you are a BIG boy!"
His new stats:
Weight: 14 lbs, 4 oz (gained 5 lbs, 1 oz over birth weight)
Height: 24 inches (gained 2 inches over birth length)
Head: 16.5 inches (gained 1.5 inches over birth circumference)
He also is hitting half of his four month developmental markers and all of his 2-3 month markers. He giggled at her when she tickled his groin during his exam and it surprised her...she said most children don't laugh like Santa Claus and the proverbial bowlful of jelly at this age and said he just must be a happy little man.
He was very sweet and calm while getting his rotavirus vaccine administered. We surprised the ped a bit in electing to get that one. With Connor we delayed all vaccines til 2.5. The intent was to get him vaccinated at 2, but we moved just then and immediately after he became extremely ill. Charlie and I decided after a horrid experience with rotavirus that we would choose to do only that one for Timmy until he too was two years old and then we'd get him going on his shots as we've done for Connor.
Stay tuned for a Connor potty post!

Wow - another BIG boy Erin! Tom is still only about 25lbs... Good to hear the rotavirus decision. We were very glad we got Tom his after a trip to the UK where I got norovirus and was inches from death's door (or so I like to think) and Tom only had a couple of squitty poops (apparently the viruses are linked). Great to hear you're all doing well!
