2 month appointment

We reached the time for the two month appointment. Hard to believe that Will's been with us that long. Also hard to believe that it's gotten so cool here in Seattle. We've had to break out the hoodie for Will... in August.



Back to the doctor's appointment. After a little wait, we finally got the answer to the question we had been asking for the past week or so: exactly how big is Will? We had done a rough measurement with us standing on the scale and figured he was at least 12 pounds. We were also amazed at the Sounders game over the weekend by a baby sitting just next to us who was only a week and a half younger than Will who looked tiny in comparison.

So, the tale of the tape? 13 pounds, 7 ounces (and Catherine argues he could have been more had she fed him before feeding instead of waiting until after the appointment). That's somewhere around the 75th percentile. He was also 25 inches long (95th percentile) with a 41 cm head circumference (also upper end). He even handled the vaccinations quite well.

To give you an idea as to how big he is getting, I used to be able to fit him on the entire length of my upper leg. Now, the legs have to go on my chest.

A toast to our growing boy.
