2 week check up

My "little" boy isn't so little. We went for his 2 week check up today and he is in the 90th percentile for height and weight. He weighed 9 lb 6 oz and was 22 in long. He was 8 lb 3 oz, 21 1/4 in long when he was born. He lost down to 7 lb 13 oz by the time we took him home from the hospital. The nurse said they really just check to make sure they gain back to their birth weight by the 2 week appt. Well, mission accomplished little guy!!
Dr. Burns said he looks great. He did give us a prescription for some eye drops. Apparently it's a tear duct that is clogged. He said it should clear up on it's own, but it can take a while. It's quite normal, though. He had his heel pricked again. He was not happy about it. Of course. I wouldn't be either. But, other than that he was just calm the whole time. He's a good little baby.
We asked Dr. Burns if we were over feeding him since he had gained so much weight. He said that as long as his height and weight were staying proportional, then it's fine. Since he was in the 90th percentile for both height and weight, we're doing good. For now, he's eating 3 oz every 3 hours. He's such a slow eater, though. He likes to savor his food. :)
Anywho, here are some pics for your viewing pleasure! He's a little doll!!
He is showing off his triple chin again! :)
