13 pounds 8 ounces (90th percentile) - gained 3 pounds
25.5 inches (100+ off the charts!!!!!!!) - grew 2 inches
head: 15 3/4 (50th percentile)
Wow! So for those of you out there that were concerned that he eats only 4 times a day (about every 6-8 hours)....no need. He is gaining weight perfectly fine. He eats between 6.5 - 9.5 ounces at a sitting (I pump and give him a bottle at least once a day so I can see how much he drinks). When I told the doctor he goes about 6-8 hours between feedings her first response was 'oh, at night?'.....no, all the time. She was amazed as it is 'quite' unusual. But, he has done this since the beginning (I can't relate to those moms whose kids eat every 2-3 hours). But he has the 'right' amount of wet and dirty diapers, he's gaining weight and looks 'very' healthy - so no need to alter his schedule.
As far as his height....well this would be why my darling little baby boy is not fitting some 6 month clothes!!!!! He may very well be the only 2 month old that I know that will be in 6-9 month clothes. He is just a tall drink of water. :)
They were also very impressed that he holds his head up so well - and I must say that when he meets somebody new they say that he's so alert and holds his head up so well. When he does tummy time, it is rare that he lays with his head down - he always has it picked up and is looking around. Also, when we prop up some pillows behind him he tries to sit up - the nurse said that is a question they don't usually ask parents until 9 months. :)
He coos and smiles up a storm!
Logan did receive two shots today...of which he did cry initially (who wouldn't?)...but he calmed down shortly after. I have the Baby Tylenol on standby in case he gets a fever (common side affect from the shots).
Another great checkup...his next checkup is in 2 months for a 4 month checkup.
Just wanted to give an update!
