Elliott loves his Aunt Jules!

We saw the Pediatrician yesterday for a 5 week checkup with a Hep B shot (way to be brave son!) and here are some quick stats for all you Curious Georges out there:

Weight: 10 lbs 12 oz
Height: 23.75 in
A bad case of diaper rash
Some skin dermatitis
A cyst that looks like a molar on his back gum

It seems from the stats that the kid is a wreck, but he couldn’t be happier. He charmed his way through the Doctors visit starting off with letting everyone know who was the boss. We were checking out his butt as I was explaining the rash and next thing we both new, a gigantic arc of pee was hitting the wall. I’m glad she found it as funny as I did. So much for the Wee blocking.

His weight and height are busting off the charts which is excellent because he is stretching to 5 hours between feedings at night giving me sleep I’d thought I would never see again. His gassiness is also starting to get better which is cutting down on the squirming and crying.

The best part of the day however, was in the morning. We were having some strong man tummy time and he flashed me his first real smile. It was awesome. Nothing beats it.

We finished the day at Aunt Jules’ house. Pretty much a great day.
