The 2 week check-up

Colin went today for his two week check-up. Where has the time gone? I can't believe he is 2 weeks old (yesterday) already! My little boy is growing so quickly. But then again, he does still have the little umbilical cord attached to him right now!

So, anyway, back to the doctor's visit. He has grown to 20 1/2 inches (just under the 50th percentile) and his head circumference was in the 25th percentile. The best part is that his weight has gone up significantly now that he has switched over to all formula feedings. In fact, we've given him a new nickname....Porker Parker. Last Monday at his check-up, he only weighed 6 pounds 7 ounces, down from his birth weight of 7 pounds 1 ounce. Today he weighed in at an amazing 7 pounds 10 ounces! The boy can really eat! He was somewhere between the 10th and 25th percentile for weight, much higher than his sister was at this age, but then again she was in the 50th percentile when she was born!

Now, we don't have to go back in again until his 2 month check-up in May. But that's when he has to get his first set of shots!
