Cale's specs this time are 23.75 inches long (75th percentile), 12 pounds 15.8 ounces (75th percentile), and 16 inches head circumference (60th percentile). Starting with his one-month checkup, Karston never had a measurement at or over the 50th percentile, so these big percentile numbers are surprising to us. In fact, Karston was four months old before he was about the size Cale is now.
After seeing Cale try it on my lap, the doctor tested Cale's standing trick for himself, where Cale stands and looks around while someone provides balance by holding him under his arms; his head wobbles a bit, but he loves it. Karston loved this routine at that age too, although his head was steadier and his hips were wobblier so I called him baby Elvis.
Cale got his next round of vaccinations at this appointment. He didn't like the three shots, but he wasn't too upset about it either, which was surprising given that he was very fussy this morning. Karston's been fussy too, so I wonder if 29.22 inHg is not a good barometric pressure for my boys (sinuses?). I can't tell if my headache is from hearing some kid screams up close, or from something else. I'm all worn out already, and it's still morning. Whew. At least Cale agreed to take a restless nap, and Karston cheered up after scooby snacks (that's what we call vanilla wafers now) and juice. I'm sure the day will be better for all of us after lunch and a nap.
