Christopher had his 2 month checkup today at the doctor's office. He was so happy, smiling and charming the nurse when we first got there. Then as we waited the 10 minutes for the doctor, Christopher filled his diaper, so I was trying to take care of that when the doctor came in and he said "Usually 2 month old baby diapers don't smell that bad!" Well, his do! Christopher got all his shots, he cried a little and has been sleeping ever since. Hopefully he won't react too badly, but I will give him some Tylenol if he does. He seems to be a healthy baby boy!
His stats:
Weight: 13 pounds 6.6 ounces (85 percentile)
Height: 23.2 inches (56 percentile)
head circumference 15.4 (26 percentile)
He's my BIG BOY!!! The doctor said that's ok! I said I was worried about the flat head, and he said it's ok if the head is a little flat, it's not ok if it's flat and uneven. He said Christopher's looks good. They say to have babies sleep on their backs, if he sleeps on his side it put them at a 5% increase risk of SIDS, and the next couple months is the highest risk time for babies. He also said be careful where you leave him now, he could surprise you and roll! It's fun watching him grow and I love all his smiles, especially in the morning he's happy.
I would just like to say that Kate weighed 13 lbs 11 oz at a 6 months. She is on the opposite side of the spectrum from Christopher.
