Aurora Borealis

Agent Murphy saw the pediatrician today.  He measured 37.25″ tall (still off the charts) and his weight is catching up with that height some at 32 pounds 6 ounces.  The doc is very pleased with his growth pattern.

Little guy was very good about going on the scale today, unlike last time.  And while he’s still freaked out by the crinkle paper, he tried very hard to be stoic.  He was upset after he had to lay on it to be measured, but when the nurse sat him up he was sniffling and practically biting his lip — very obviously trying not to cry.  He only cried when he got the two shots.  (Not even the toe prick to check for anemia seemed to bother him; his iron is fine, by the way.)

Oh, and the doc assured me he is too young to drop his nap and she thought it was a good idea to try confining him to the playpen to get him to nap.  Whew!

At the end of his appointment he got a special little bag to keep his treasures in.  He really seems to like it.  And now he gets to start a daily chewable (half) vitamin.  Our little boy is so big!
