I took Mr. Griff to see Dr. Wilcox today for his 2 month appointment (he's actually 2 1/2 months now though). When they put him on the scale I was amazed, he weighs more than Lila did at 4 months and just a bit less than she did at 6 months. Here are his stats:12 lbs 6 oz -- 50th %
22 1/2 inches -- 20th%
15 inch head -- 7th%
In conclusion he is a short fat butterball with a pin head :) (Don't worry, all my kids heads have been that size. That's how I pop them out so easily!)
Dr. Wilcox also thinks Griff has pretty bad reflux. He doesn't spit up at all, so I never suspected it, but the Dr. noticed right away that Griffin smelled like acid very strongly. Then when I mentioned he was a very cranky baby, he told me that babies who don't spit up often have the worst reflux of all. I had been wondering why Griffin smelled so bad all them time and couldn't figure it out, so this makes sense. He is on meds for it now, so hopefully he'll cheer up a little bit.
This afternoon we are on to the Audiologists office to have his hearing re-tested. He failed in one ear when he was in the hospital, but we are hoping he'll pass this time. They said they like to test the babies at 48 hours old and Griffin wasn't even 24 hours old when they did it since we left the hospital early. Apparently they can have fluid in their ears that can affect the test. So, should be fun.
We love our little Griffers!
UPDATE: He can hear!! He passed the test. Now I can check that off my list.
