3 months old

Quick update of Christopher: 
Christopher is 3 months old (actually 14 weeks now) and he didn't have an official doctor's appointment, but I did take him in for a weight check.  He's such a little guy!  He was 11.0 pounds until he peed all over the scale and me and the nurse (he giggled at this of course!).  We cleaned him and ourselves up and reweighed him and he was 10 pounds 15 ounces.  He measured 22.5" long.  That is the 5th % for weight and 3rd % for height.

The good news is that though he's small, he's following the curve for those percentiles on the growth chart and he's proportional, both are signs that he's healthy, just little.  Of course Mommy has a tough time with this!!  When Audrey was a baby she followed the 90th % curve for weight and height.  She was so chubby!  So I sorta equate chubby with healthy.  I know this isn't true for Christopher, but it's hard not to think that way.  He's the happiest baby I know! 

It's so hard knowing that your baby is little and slow growing when you are their sole source of food.  But he eats and he's full of smiles and giggles, so I know it's ok.  The joys of motherhood....worrying constantly!  :-)
