Here are his stats:
Weight 15lbs 12.5 ounces (75%)
Height 26 inches (95%)
Head 40 cm (25%)
The doctor said he was healthy and seemed to be reaching the appropriate developmental milestones. He also said it was time to start adding vitamin drops to Cameron's diet. Let me tell you, it is no easy task to give the little guy 1 mL of a yucky tasting, dark staining liquid every day. He has figured out how to push his tounge against the dropper so it is impossible to squirt any liquid into his mouth. If we do manage to get some in his mouth, he is very good at spitting it right back out. The most success we've had is getting him to pitch a major fit and then squirting the entire dropperful into his mouth during a scream. Cruel? Maybe, but it works.
Anyway, the doctor also said that we could start rice cereal if we really wanted to, but we have decided to wait until he is 6 months old since the American Acadamy of Pediatrics (and our pediatrician) recommends that babies be exclusively breastfed until 6 months. Cameron also got his second round of shots. He did almost as well as he did with the first round at two months. The nurse wasn't as quick as the nurse who did them the first time, so he had a little more time to cry, but we all survived. He had a slight fever the next day, but other than that, he was his normal self! We go back next month for his five month checkup.
I can't believe how fast he is growing and how much he has changed. See for yourself....
