Moving on Up

Grant went to his 2-month pediatrician's appointment yesterday (even though he's 2.5 months old). I guess this boy is eating pure cream. Here are the stats to prove it...

Weight: 14 pounds exactly (81st percentile) At 2 weeks old his weight was the 19th percentile.
Length: 23.75 inches (58th percentile)
Head: 16.22 inches (62nd percentile)

The doctor advised us to do more tummy time with Grant so his head can mold properly. He hates it but we do it anyway. After he cries for about 10 minutes he realizes he might be there for a while so he might as well enjoy it. This is what happens--he sticks his bum up in the air and falls asleep.


His cheeks serve as a great pillow.

I'd like to give a quick shout out to a company called "Baby So Elegant." They make binky clips, bracelets, and necklaces. The gal who runs it is my sister's friend in Ohio. She makes the items by hand and the proceeds go to a great cause. Please check out her website at
We only use the soothie binkies with Grant and none of the store-bought clips work with those. That's one reason I'm so happy with this personalized clip from Baby So Elegant. Isn't it cute?

He's so adorable! If you're interested, I've heard of these other binkies that are just like soothies but with a different shape on the outside of their mouth so they babies don't really notice it.
