Our little linebacker!

Will just got back from his two-month check-up, and the doctor said he was on the "linebacker plan" in terms of growth! He weighs 14 pounds 1 ounce and is 24.25 inches long. Apparently those stats are enough to put him well into the high 90s percentile-wise. Kate was 2 pounds lighter at the same age! No wonder he is already in 6 month clothes (and eyeing the chocolate cake)! The doctor said he was a very healthy little (big?) boy. He had to have a shot, but he barely cried and seems to be fine now. I really love our doctor because he gave me the option of doing all the shots today or breaking them up over two times, two weeks apart. He said that it was his gut feeling that doing all the shots at once is just too many antigens to introduce to such a little body, plus it's a lot of pokes. I so appreciate his candor and being given the option. I love it when doctors are forthright and tell you what they did for their own kids. One of the luxuries of having the doctor literally down the street from us is that we can easily go back, and I feel much more comfortable with this plan. Got to love small towns sometimes--the receptionists came out to greet both Will and Kate and chat with them and they told us not to even make an appointment for his next shots, they'll just "fit him in" whenever we can make it! All around a pretty great experience for a first big check-up!
