Jack's Stats - Only 2 1/2 Weeks Late

 Forgive Mommy, she is so behind - turns out having 3 kids under the age of 5 and 2 full-time working parents is a bit busy!
 Here's our little peanut - 2 months old!  All smiley and happy, but you know how hard it is to catch those elusive newborn smiles!  Mommy's heart just about bursts every time he busts one of these out.  He usually does this little thing when he smiles where he almost gasps for air, it's so cute, and so sweet!
 Jack is 22.5 inches long now which is 90%!  At his 2 month check up he weighed 8 lbs 11 oz.  Mommy got so excited!  Picked him up and said, "Way to go buddy - you are getting so BIG!" Then nurse said, "Umm, that's 3%ile - maybe, not even, really."  Oh.  So Dr. says: "We need to watch his weight, he's not gaining enough weight, yada yada yada."  Not to be dismissive, but you'll recall we had this same thing with our Lilly (Anna, not a problem!) and we had to undergo tests for all sorts of horrible diseases and it was scary, scary, scary and it turns out - Mommy makes little, skinny babies.  That's her story, anyway.  Jack seems to be doing just great: he's hitting all of his milestones and he acts as happy as a baby should act.  He goes for a weight check in 2 weeks so we'll see if he's doing any better then...
 Just to jog your memory here he is at 1 month (okay, not a good picture, admittedly...)
And born!
Watch me grow!
Love,
Jack, Lilly and Anna
