Two Month Check-up

On Thursday, when Nolan was right at 9 weeks, he had his two month check-up. I was very curious at what his weight would be and I was amazed when he came in at 12 lbs 4 oz (70th percentile)! He is measuring at 22.5 inches (50th percentile) and his head circumference is also in the 50th percentile. They don't think Nolan has reflux, because he is gaining weight and hardly spits up. The doctor thinks it may just be him and he doesn't eat much. They aren't worried that he isn't sleeping for very long stretches at night at this point either. If he continues to get fussier and starts eating less I am suppose to bring him in. The doctor also found that he has a little fluid in his testicles, but she assumes that will clear up in 6-9 months on its own.  He is a little behind on communication according to the assessment they use, but she thinks its an advanced assessment and he will be all caught up by 4 month (they asked if he was already laughing). Besides that he is perfect. She was amazed at how well he stands and sits up already. We go back in two months and then he will start solid foods.
