Jr had a follow up for the ear infection (ala Florida) today. Man my chunko-munko is getting big! They didn't check his height but his weight is up to 21lbs 10.6oz! So I guess lets just call that one as it is: 22lbs! Dr K was very excited to see him (he's more or less a friend of the family at this point, so we get a little more attention according to my mom). His ear is good, and the rash on his face that his Grandma J was worried about is normal and teething related. Jokingly Dr K mentioned that Jr maybe a little ADHD due to the fact he's CONSTANTLY moving and checking things out. While I was a little surprised by that, he said that it's normal and he's just going to be a kid who requires LOTS of stimulation. (Something I already knew - he doesn't do sitting quietly for very long.) Other than that he's doing good and Dr. K thinks he'll be walking in the next month or so.
The walking assumption was because he proved to Dr. K in the office that he (Jr) has no real intrest in A) staying in one spot and B) he pulled himself into a standing postion more then once in front of the Dr. Jr will also do the normal baby steps if you hold his hands, although unlike some babies at this age it's not because your leaning him forward. ;)
I also asked about if I should consult with a OB/GYN before trying for #2. Yes you read that right - it is seriously being considered. IF we were to concieve during Chris' time at home in July, Jr and Baby#2 would be approx 19 mos apart. So we'll see. Chris is all for it - I'm still on the fence but am willing to see what another Dr thinks about the situation. I do know that after #2 that's it. I'm done! LOL, famous last words I know!
Well I'm off to get my hair done - my mom is going to color it and Junior is currently sleeping on her bed which is ticking of Fat Cat (aka my mom's cat Deva) who prefers to have the bed to herself!!!
