First Doctor Visit


Max had his two week check up this morning. When we left the hospital two weeks ago he weighed 8 lbs. 7 oz.- today he weighs 10 lbs. 10 oz. He's getting to be a hefty little guy. It stands to reason- he LOVES eating.
Because we take him to the same pediatrician that Great Grandma Ann works at, Max gets extra special attention. The doctor said he looks pretty good. His umbilical cord hadn't fallen off, but while she was checking his circumcision she brushed against it and the stump stuck to her finger. Max didn't seem to notice. He's happier now because that means he gets more tummy time.
Max does have a crusty little eyes which we have to massage ointment into. Other than that he's perfectly healthy and registering well above normal in height and weight for his age. His head size is right at average. I don't know why they calculate these things. The doctor gave us a chart so we can keep track too.
Our next appointment is at the beginning of Sept. Max will get a good deal of shots. Maybe dad will have to miss that appointment.
