Griffin's Stats

Sweet little Griffin had his two-month well-baby check yesterday. He is actually 10 weeks old now. Anyway, he weighs 11 lbs., 4 oz., is 23 inches long, and his head is 16 inches around. I dug out Camden's baby book, and he had his 2-month check at 7 weeks of ages - - his stats were quite different! He weighed 15 lbs., was 24 inches long, and head was 16 1/2 inches around. Mind you, he was three weeks YOUNGER than Griffin is now. Griffin's percentiles ranged from 40-55%, while Camden's were 97-99%. Yikes! The immunization portion was not pleasant - - I just cannot stand the cry that comes out of a baby when they are stuck with a needle - - the one where you know they have no idea why they are being hurt - - heartbreaking! Griffin is running a slight fever this morning, which is new to me because Camden never had any reaction to any immunization. He mostly just wants me to hold him, which is fine with me.
On our agenda today: we are off to Boise to sign Camden up for gymnastics, and then we'll head over to the book store for story and craft time. I'm about to throw some chili in the crock pot so dinner will be ready by the time we get home.

There is no sound sadder than a baby who just got stuck! One second they're looking at you with those trusting eyes -- the next second they're howling because they just can't believe they've been hurt! So Sad! I hope Griffin is feeling better quickly!

Will Crock Pot Chilli make the "Recipe Monday" post? Sounds yummy!

Same story with Alex - he had his 4 month appointment yesterday. He's 50th percentile for everything, unlike Leah, who was in the 90's in everything. She had a much bigger appetite than him though - eating was her favorite pastime.
