2 Month Check Up

Well, baby Q is 9 weeks old this week and we took him this morning for his 2 month check up and we're happy to report that we have a healthy growing baby! He weighs 10 lbs 8 oz (at birth he was 7lbs 3 oz) and is 22 inches long. Now, he is a little short according to the charts, but lets be honest here...who really expected him to be as tall as the Jolly Green Giant when his mom is barely 5" feet tall! It's not in his genes to be super tall, but that's ok because as my mom always said..."the best things always come in small packages" ! The pediatrician assured that he is right where he is suppose to be for his age. Actually, he is ahead of the curve in one area...his muscle strength. The kid is a "muscular prodigy" as one of my friends put it! He can roll over already, he holds his head up all the way, and can push himself up on his legs if he sits on your lap! The nurses were amazed and then we showed the doctor and he about dropped his mouth, he didn't believe us at first and asked us "how old is he again" as he looked at Quintin's chart. I am pretty sure that this kid is going to be crawling and walking before I know it...he's going to keep me on my toes. 
The little guy got a bunch of vaccinations today too. I don't know who was in more pain from them, Quintin or Robert and I. It broke my heart to hear him cry like that! I am so glad that we don't have to do shots very often. All in all, he was a good sport about it! We sure do love this little boy! I knew life was going to be spectacular with this little man here, but it's so much more than I ever expected...he brings an amount of joy to our lives that can't be measured!
