Two-Month Doctor Appointment

You had your two-month doctor appointment recently.  Here are your stats:

Weight: 11 lbs 5 oz (49%)

Height: 23 inches (71%)

Head: 15.5 inches (42%)

You got five shots and one oral vaccination.  It broke my heart to see you so red-faced and screaming, but it was over before you knew it, and Gerry was waiting to comfort you.

The doctor said you are doing really well.  I asked her if I should be concerned that you spit up so much, and she said no because your weight gain is steady and healthy.  She said you have "amazing" head control for a baby your age.  I swear you've been holding your head up from the first week of your life--you are very strong.  You are also very alert.  You stare intently at people's faces, and you often look puzzled, pensive, or worried.  You started to smile this month, but it usually takes some work to get a smile from you.  You seem like a serious-minded little fellow, and you sure are precious.
