So Luke had his three month appt on Friday. I was a little nervous going since this would be the first time without Stevo and Luke was getting some vaccines. But things went well. The pediatrician's office has a young foreign girl take his measurements first before the doctor actually sees him. I'm not too fond of her b/c she is not very personable nor does she offer his measurement numbers to me. Doesn't she know that I am the typical first time mom who has about three different baby books that I am filling out for him and also a blog that needs all this information?!?! Anyway, I strip him down to his b'day suit and put him on the scale...at least I can see that measurement. He weighed 16 lbs, 3 ozs (I thought it would have been a little more considering that I can only hold him for about 10 minutes before I need a rest). Then the assistant measures his length next. She does this by laying him down on the table and making a mark at his head and then making a mark at his feet and she doesn't hold onto him at all. So he is squirming around like a mad man. So she writes down the measurement and as always, I have to ask her what it is. 27 inches she tells me. 27 inches!!! He was only 24 inches a month ago. I was shocked!!! Then she measures his head circumference and again I ask her what it is...44 cm she tells me. Why give one thing in inches and another in centimeters?!? So fine whatever, she leaves and I wait for the pediatrician to come in. So a few minutes later, the doctor comes in and checks Luke over. He is being quite the ladies man during her examination of him so that was good. So then she looks over his chart. "27 inches!!!", she says..."That can't be right!". So she re-measures him and he is officially 24.75 inches...only grew 3/4 of an inch since last month but managed to pack on a couple pounds...gotta love it. Oh and he got one shot which he didn't like...poor guy, the pedi splits up his shots so it seems like he is going to be getting shots each month for the rest of his life!!!!
Not too much else has been going on...I've been going to a "New Moms Group" at Mattituck Library. There are about 3-4 other moms that go with their infants and it is nice to meet them and talk about what is going on with our kids. Luckily, there isn't any competition between us yet but I'm sure it is about to start since some will be rolling and sitting up soon...I'm sure that there will be more to come with that.
I also took Luke to the knit/yarn shop where I took lessons from a few times. I wanted to get some yarn to make him a sweater and luckily both of my old instructors were there. Luke was the hit of the shop and all the old lady knitters wanted a piece of him. He was passed around and ooh and aahed over...it was really cute.
Here are a couple pictures taken last week while Luke was napping...I promise to start taking more!
This ones a little blurry but how cute is he stretching - look at his chest puffed out?!?
