Today was Miles' 1 month doctor's appointment. He weighed 10 lb 12 oz. We knew he had grown, but I guessed he was just under 10 lbs. Dr. Bates said it was a classic case of Chunky Monkey syndrome! I asked if that was too much weight too quickly....he said that it was just a sign of good parenting! Love that answer. Since his last visit 3 weeks ago, he has gone from the 16th percentile to the 70th percentile regarding weight! He has grown an inch and a half since he was born. He's up to 22 1/2". All of the regular nurses were out so we have to go back next week for his first vaccination.
If you live around here and are in need of a pediatrician, Dr. Bates is wonderful. He is very informative. For me, he's the perfect balance of concern, but not over reactive. And, he does not believe in over medicating, which is very important to me.
