two month stats.

i'm behind.  imagine that.  this 2 kid thing is hard.  i mean, don't get me wrong..i LOVE these boys.  but man.  there is wayyyyy more than double to do.  anyway, here is what i wrote right after max's two month doctor's appointment....

so.  the first thing our pediatrician said to us when he walked in was, "well, you can stop worrying that something is physically wrong with max.  he would not be this big and healthy if something were physically wrong."

and he smiled.  and i smiled.  i wanted to hug him.  and cry.  but i didn't.  i pretty much knew once the prevacid didn't work and the million dollar formula didn't make a difference...but mostly i knew when at 6 weeks he was the worst ever...when at 7 weeks he was sort of a different child.  and then at 8 weeks, he became the sweetest baby ever...

well, i knew it was colic.  because of my boyfriend dr. weissbluth.  and his book.  "your fussy baby".  it was a life saver.  and then dayle told me about the miracle blanket.  and so well, i knew he was okay.

but it always feels good to hear it from someone who knows much more than me.

max weighs 15.9 pounds.  that's the 98th percentile.  he is 25 inches long.  that's the 97th percentile.  awesome.

dr. w. said that he was the 2nd biggest baby he had seen in a long time.  the first was a 17 pound 2 month old!!!  he was, of course, off the charts.  he was 11 pounds, 9 ounces when he was born....wait for it...vaginally!!!  i cannot imagine.

anyway, dr. w. gave max an A+ on his 2 month exam.  he said that if he didn't gain another pound, he would still be above average at 4 months.  ha.

we are in 6 month clothing...if it's ralph lauren, we're in 9 months.  yes.  seriously.  unreal.

when i told the doctor that he was sleeping all night and taking 10 ounces before bed, his response was, "of course he is.  what does he need to wake up for!?  certainly not to eat!"  we both laughed.  true, true.

we are so blessed to have a beautiful, chubby, healthy baby boy. we love him so much.
