Pediatrician's visit

When you cry I don't always know what you want. I might well be sticking a nipple in your mouth, thinking that you are hungry, while you are having gas pain. It's tough to be a baby. But at the doctor's office the other day, you expressed yourself loud and clear. So loud in fact, that the doctor could hardly use the stethoscope. You reminded me of our beloved cat Odysseus, after whom you are partially named. Yes, I know you will accuse me of this when you grow up. Normally a mild and loving cat, he would morph into a wild beast at the vet's office.

The examination revealed that you have grown since birth. I already knew that of course. Here are your new specs:

Weight: 3.52kg or 7lb 12oz
Height: 53.3cm or 21in.

For American standards, this makes you tall and thin, like a model, or like your Dad. Your height puts you in the 75th percentile and your weight in the 25th in the US.

Waiting to see you grow.
Mommy.
