Our little chunker.....

Austin had his 2 month check-up today and I definately went prepared with a list of questions. I'm sure the doctor thought I was nuts when I pulled out my sheet with questions on it, but for those that know me well, you know I have a two second memory and would have forgotten to ask 3/4 of the things I wanted to. Here is a rundown of the appointment:
1) First of the measurements: he was 14 lbs 1.25 oz, in the 94th percentile and was 24 inches long, the 87th percentile. Both of these were greatly increased from the 70th percentiles he was in before. But the doctor says he is proportionate and healthy and there is no need to change his eating habits, so for now we just let our little chunker grow:):)
2) He had to get three shots, which Mom was definately not crazy about, but after about 30 seconds of crying and a little tylenol (which he devoured, apparently he likes cherry flavor) he was good to go.
3) His collarbone is completely healed, just a little bump remains that she said would eventually disappear.
4) After multiple phone calls from me about his left eye that keeps running and being all gooped up, they have decided to try an antibiotic to see if there is an infection or if its just a blocked tear duct.
5) The doc referred us to a pediatric surgeon to remove his cyst above his left eyebrow, so we have a consultation appt there next week.
6) And the last issue was his constipation, currently he is on day 4 with no bowel movement. After trying everything else (rectal temperature, glycerine suppository, water) all to no avail, the doctor said to try milk of mag, so hopefully that gets things moving....

HAHA, why thanks, I think he's a cutie, but I'm kinda biased:):) We definately need to get together soon. We may be heading that way in early December, we will let you know if we find a date that works!!! He broke his collarbone when he was born, we didn't even know until he was two weeks old, but its all healed up now!!
