2 month appointment!

Hudson had his 2 month well baby check-up yesterday. It is a little annoying to pay $20 every few weeks just to be told what I already know...happy and healthy baby! But at least you get a nice little ego stroke on what a wonderful parenting job you are doing!

So Mr. Hudson is weighing in at a healthy 13lbs, 6oz which is the 86th percentile. Even though this is my third baby, I am still in awe over how my own body and milk that I produce is enough to grow and nurture this little being! That's 4 pounds 2oz (if my sleepy brain math is correct...) from his birth weight in just 2 months! He is 23 3/4 inches long, 73% for height and up 3 1/4 inches from birth! He is also a little ahead of the curve as far as developmental milestones. He can hold his head/shoulders off the ground very well, he rolls from tummy to back and he tracks people across a room. He's another little smarty-pants Gerrits baby! His pediatrician was checking how well he held up his head while on his tummy and wasn't expecting him to start rolling, he laid all over her stethoscope and supplies while she tried to grab him LOL He also smiles and coos like crazy, he was talking to the mural on the wall the whole time we were there.
