Two Month Check-up

Jamie had his two month check-up yesterday.

He's at a whopping 12 lbs., 13 oz.
His head is 15.5 inches around (that's the 50th percentile).
We don't have an accurate measure of his length; the boy won't sit still.

The doctor says that Jamie is perfectly healthy, with three minor problems: first, we can't get rid of the thrush; second, the tear duct in his left eye is perpetually blocked; third, his constipation is actually anal stenosis. Basically, this means that his opening is too small to allow poop to come out easily. There's no real cure (although the rectal exam he had yesterday will probably help), but it's not anything to be too concerned about. Still, it's troubling to watch Jamie struggle so much.

Jamie got three shots yesterday. Actually, he got four: he wiggled too much the first time.

All in all, Jamie's doing great.
