Chunking Up Nicely

We went in for Wyatt’s first pediatrician visit today since leaving the hospital over a week ago. The kids’ pediatrician is a remarkably nice lady our age so it feels as much like getting to visit a really knowledgable friend as going to the doctor. At least until the needles or bills get involved; neither of those are very fun.

Well, Wyatt is a very healthy young man. He has already grown a bit since his birth. He is up to 8 lbs. 4 oz; up 12 oz. over his birth weight (and considering he no doubt lost some weight in the hospital, that may be up as much as a pound!). His height was at 21 1/2 in., which is a whole inch over his birth length. However, if you ever watch a newborn being measured, you might agree with me that there is some more error in this measurement system. So, he likely is growing some but he is definitely feeding very well.
