Growing

Ben had his two month doctor appointment this last week (I know - we are about a month behind schedule). He had to have 5 shots. Poor boy! Two nurses came in and each one took a leg. Then on the count of three they both stuck him at the same time (twice in a row). screamed his head off. it didn't take too long before Mom's hugging calmed him down. He had a rough afternoon after that, but who can blame him. The next day he was back up and happy like his normal self. He also got measured and such at the doctor's. At three months old he weights 16 lbs and 8 oz (the 90-95th percentile for his age) and he is 26.7 inches long (off the growth chart). I was looking at the chart later and realized that at this length he would be in the 50th percentile for his age. The doctor kept asking if we have lots of height in our family. The nurse actually measured him twice because after she checked the chart, she thought her first measurement was wrong. Funny. He is a little hand sucker. Man, he gets those fists up to his mouth and just munches away.
