Stettler Stalks: Grady Update

Grady hit the two month mark this past weekend and had his check up on Thursday. Dr. Irene says he is doing well... growing just as he should be. After our struggles to get Emily to gain weight at this age, that is always music to my ears. He is now over 11 pounds and has grown an inch since his 2 week check up. He is right around the 50% for height, weight, and head circumference. He did great- didn't fuss the entire time he was examined until the nurse gave him the shots. I think they should add a class to the pediatric nursing programs on how to give shots to infants QUICKLY. I have never seen someone move so slow while giving an immunization. One needle would go in and come out, the band-aid goes on and by the time he finally stopped crying about the first one, then she would start the second one....same thing with the third. It breaks my heart to see his little face get so red. He was very sweet with the doctor until she forced his mouth open to 'take a peek'. Then Doctor Irene got to see the pout that gets Grady his way every time with Mama. I'll have to get a picture of that one some day: then you'll see what I mean!

Here are a couple of pictures of Grady. If I can post them in the right order, you'll get a pretty clear picture of what we see between each feeding: Smiling Grady, Yawning Grady, and Cranky Grady. I haven't snuck into his room yet to get a picture while he's sleeping... you'll just have to imagine that one!
