Baron's Two Month Check Up

Today I took Baron for his two month check up. He's doing great as expected. He's 26 inches (95+%) and 12 pounds 12 ounces (76%). Now, being told my son was in the 76% was quite a shocker. I've never had a baby below 95+. You would have thought that the nurse had said he was starving. I immediately asked if she was sure and looked at the chart myself. Then I asked if Baron was ok and if she thought he was eating enough. Should I wake him up in the middle of the night for an extra feeding? She thought I was crazy and made sure I understood that 76% means that he's bigger than 76% of all babies his age. I did understand that but just never thought I would have such a "small" baby. Ha! Anyway, I'm thrilled that Baron is doing so well and still surprised that 24% of babies, as Jay put it, can "take him." Jackson at 40 pounds and 2 1/2 years is still in the 95%+ category so hopefully he'll take care of his tiny brother:)
