Chunky Monkey

Jake had his two-month check-up today. His pediatrician was pleased with his progress and called him a very happy baby. He even said Jake was 'ahead of schedule' in rolling over. He said you want them to be active, but then there's no looking back after that! We thought Sam was pretty active; now his little brother is trying to show him up!

Jake was 13 lbs., 6 oz. and 23 1/2 inches long at his checkup. (At birth he was 8 lbs., 7 oz. and 21 1/2 inches.) This puts him in the 60th percentile for height and 90th percentile for weight!

During the visit, poor Jake was lying on the examination table, just grinning and cooing and having a grand 'ol time. The little guy had no idea he was about to receive five shots! Of course he didn't think they were fun, but he did a pretty good job. And I didn't do too bad, either.

What costume is Sam going to wear? Jake's smiles are great! We need to get together soon.
