Easton's 2 month check-up

Easton had his 2 month well child visit with the doctor yesterday. He received a great report and is growing like a weed. His length & head circumference were in the 50% to 70% range, but his weight is still off of the charts!!! Easton weighed 15.1 lbs, was 23.5 inches long & his head measured 16.5 inches. We assumed he had grown quite a bit because he's already outgrown his 0-3 month sized clothing and is wearing 3-6 month now, but WOW, 15 lbs already!?!?! I guess considering he was almost 10 lbs at birth that 15 lbs now isn't such a stretch, right?

Easton's temperature was 99.3, which is average for a rectal temp (ugh!) He was also scheduled to get several shots, which I actually think was worse on me than it was on him. He took them like a champ, cried for about 20 seconds and then settled back into his usual laid-back and sweet demeanor. I am so glad to have that first shot experience behind us .... seriously, I think Easton is better about getting shots than I am, and I am grown! How sad is that? :-)

We were happy to get a good report for Easton - his next appointment will be in May when he's 4 months old. I wonder what he'll weigh by then? If he continues to grow at this rate, he'll be over 20 lbs!!!
