2 month checkup

We're just back from our 2 month checkup, about a week and a half late. Here's the scoop!

Henry

• weight: 11 pounds 4 ounces (45%)
  
• length: 21 3/4 inches (10%)
  
• head: 16 1/4 inches (75%)
• weight to length ratio (ie, how fat am I?): 75%
  

Matthew

• weight: 12 pounds 2 ounces (55%)
• length: 22 1/2 inches (45%)
• head: 16 1/2 inches (90%)
• weight to length ratio: 75%

So, compared to last time, the boys are doing fantastic. They're definitely on track to double their birth weight by 4-5 months (I think we'll hit that by 3 months). I am super happy that Henry's weight has increased so much. Last time his weight was in the 10th percentile and this time it's the 45th!

We asked about the fact that Henry spits up SO much, but she said it is a laundry problem and not a reflux or formula problem. Because he is gaining weight and growing so well, she's not concerned at all. As for Matt's fussiness at eating, she's also not concerned about reflux. Sounds more like gas, so just continue with the Mylicon and lots of burping. And if he doesn't want to drink he whole bottle, not to worry.

Henry's blood was also retested for anemia. Last time he was at 10.4 and this time 10.5. I think they start calling it anemia if it's 10.7 or lower. So, as we expected, we're to continue on the vitamin supplement with iron for at least another few months. And lastly, the boys got tons of shots today, so cross your fingers they sleep all afternoon instead of cry. :-)
