Gramma's yesterday, Doctor today...

My mom is over-the-moon in love with Kevin. She has bought so much stuff for him that the house is starting to look like a daycare. My house is small and his stuff has taken over the dining and living room. The boy wants to walk and he hasn't even begun to crawl, yet, so Mom got him a walker. He just loves that. He loves to watch traffic while sitting on the porch. The bigger or louder a vehicle is, the better he likes it.

Yesterday we drove to Gramma's to pick up his walker and the bathtub and toys she's bought him and he got to meet her mini horses:

Today, he went to the doctor. He weighs 14lbs, 4ozs. That's a 1lb 1oz gain from last month. He gained almost a 1/2 lb since being home (I've been weighing him because of my concern with his formula intake). That's thin for his age and for his length, but the doctor isn't concerned at this point because he's very healthy. His length blew me away, though. He grew over 2 1/4 inches this month! He's now just over the 75th percentile for his age! Last month he fell at about the 17th percentile. He also got a Pneumococcal shot (he called it something else, but I can't remember the name...same thing, though). He took it like a trooper and only cried for a few seconds. The office girls were swooning over him and he flirted like a pro. Kevin's doctor is of Indian descent, so thankfully, I didn't have to educate him on Mongolian spots (Kevin has 1 large one on his upper buttocks and a small one on his back). I asked the doctor to document them in case of any future problems. If you've never seen them, you'd swear the were bruises. Here he is at his first visit...
