2 Month Checkup

Grayson had his 2 month checkup today.  He was a happy baby while we waited to see the pediatrician!

As these pictures prove, Grayson is a big baby!  Here are his stats:

Grayson's 2 month stats:

• Weight: 14 lbs, 11 oz (94th percentile)
• Length: 23 inches (50th percentile)
• Head Circumference: 41.2 cm (97th percentile)

This guy has grown a lot in the last 7 weeks!

Grayson's 2 week stats:

• Weight: 9 lb, 2 oz (68th percentile)
• Length: 20.75 in (61st percentile)
• Head Circumference: 14.7 in (89th percentile)

Here are the other boys' measurements at 2 months.  At least Grayson isn't as big as Rylan was!

Rylan's 2 month stats:

• Weight: 15 lbs, 12.5 oz (98th percentile)
• Length: 23.5 inches (66th percentile)
• Head Circumference: 41.5 cm (81st percentile)

Carter's 2 month stats:

• Weight: 11 lbs, 6 oz (45th percentile)
• Length: 22 inches (22nd percentile)
• Head Circumference: 40 cm

My only real concern was discussing the amount of spitting up that Grayson does.  He is very similar to Carter so I'm not worried but I wanted to get this pediatrician's take on it.  Grayson is obviously keeping enough down based on his weight.  When I told the pediatrician that I only feed Grayson on one side every 3 hours and that he usually only eats about 5 minutes, he said that my let down must be really quick and that I'm probably drowning Grayson.  He's getting so much so quick that his tummy is full before he even realizes it.  I can try to feed him less at each feeding but increase the frequency of feedings, keep him still after feedings, try burping him even more, and just keep lots of extra dry clothes on hand :)  We agreed that Grayson doesn't seem overly bothered by the spitting up so acid reflux medicine wouldn't do much for him since he'd continue to spit up just as much (the medicine only takes away some of the burn).

Grayson got 3 shots and an oral vaccine today.  He was way more upset about the oral vaccine than the shots.  He did cry during those too but stopped as soon as I picked him up.  He wasn't any more fussy than normal today from his shots but he was running a fever (100.3F the last time I checked).

The pediatrician didn't have any concerns about Grayson's develop and said he looked great.  Grayson goes back in another two months for another checkup.
