What weighs about 10 pounds?
1. A dumbbell
2. A Bag of Flour
3. Our Cat Sammy
4. A medium size bowling ball
5. Our Son
Today we had our 2 month check-up (2 months, 3 weeks). Harrison weighed in at 9 lbs 11 ounces. He is just inching himself towards being a 10 pound baby! Harrison is not only packing on the pounds, but length wise he is sprouting up. He measured 20 1/4 inches long. The doctor pulled up the growth chart to compare where Harrison is and should be by looking at him as a 2 month old baby verses a one week old baby. He still isn't on the growth chart according to other two month old babies. However, with the leaps and bounds he has been making he is well on his way. To us--we don't see him as small, but when you put him next to a baby just two weeks younger than he is, the size is quite notable.
While waiting for the doctor appointment today another mom came to the waiting room with her baby boy who is eight weeks old. She asked me how many days old Harrison was...when I said 11 weeks---with the look she gave me, I had to explain. Her baby wasn't by any means huge, being born at just over 6 pounds...
Until I have something to compare him to, he is our "Big Guy."
Harrison maybe small for his age...but developmentally he is advanced. Yes, advanced is what I said and the doctor agreed. Harrison is meeting all the developmental milestones of a 2 month old baby---not a one week old baby. The doctor couldn't stop saying how happy he is with the development...and as a parents, we couldn't be happier hearing such positive statements.
Also at the appointment today Harrison was given his second does of the RSV vaccine and had his last blood draw for electrolytes. The saddest thing of all is that he cried his first real tears during today's pokes. Before now--there was a whole lot of dry crying. So, from now on it's just vaccinations at appointments...which means less poking and less tears.
Our next appointment isn't for a full month!
With all of today's excitement, we puked all over our self at the appointment and pooped up our back when we got home. (That reminds me, I need to switch the laundry).
Stayed tuned for pictures...Harrison's personalized blanket finally came in. After our afternoon nap we might be photogenic.
