Today we had our 2 month well visit to the pediatrician. All went well - they answered my questions, checked out the boy and took measurements. He was given 2 vaccines, which he did not like, but we were able to stay in the room until I could nurse him back to sanity and he took a short nap in the car on the way home.
Our pediatrician, Kids Plus Pediatrics, has a patient portal where I can log online and see all of Attison's medical information. They also give access to the growth charts so we can compare his growth to other healthy babies his age. You can see from the chart below how he is scoring.

His height measurements have been a bit funky (definitely born a bit coneheaded). But we think he is back on track and growing like a champ.
Also, the little bugger rolled over for the first time while he was getting his exam. I was bragging about how strong his neck muscles are, and she put him on his belly and said "He is moving a lot, does he roll over?" to which I replied "No. Not yet." and then BAM! Little Attison was on his back in a second. So either this little man is a show off, or I haven't given him enough time on his belly to give er' a go on his own. We'll be working on that this week :)
