2 week stats

Today we took Dexter to the Dr. for his 2 week check-up.  I tried to time it with naps, but didn't do too good of a job, so Dex was pretty mucha  screaming mess through the appointment.  However, everything that needed to get done and checked did get done and checcked - so, success!  His stats were also pretty great!

At birth, Dex was 9lbs, 1oz.  Today, 2 weeks and 1 day later, he is 10lbs, 2oz!  (Way to grow Dex!)  He is in the 80th percentile for weight.

At birth, he was 21" long, but today he was 22.5"!  This is the 95th percentile for height!  (I don't know where he got the tall genes...  Joel and I are both the shortest in our families!

Finally, I'm not sure what his head circumference was at birth, but at his 4 day appointment with the Dr. it was 14" around.  Today it was 15", and in the 75th percentile.  

In conclusion, he is definitely a growing boy!  His next appointment will come at the end of August.  Until then we are working on closing up his cord stump (eww) and getting rid of an eye infection resulting from a clogged tear duct from ointment they put in his eyes immediately after birth.  We'll see how he does until then!
