We met with Dr. P., MD yesterday for Stanley's four month visit. It was a pretty mundane, and very fast visit. And highly productive: he got four shots, there were measurements, and a conversation that addressed the measurements, his eating habits, and what to expect in terms of motor skills over the next few months. Though the boy will always be perfect in every way in our hearts, it's always nice to hear confirmation from someone with a fancy title.
He remains a tall boy--in the 97th percentile--and generally a proportioned one, with weight in the 80th or 85th percentile. Dr. P. again tantalized me with speculation that Stan would be 6'2" if he kept this up, which I love hearing, but which I also greeted with a good deal of skepticism. One of my friends was told his kid would be 6'4", and he ended up 5'11". So whatever. The important thing is that he and his mom are in a good groove. We had no assumptions that breast feeding would work out, but it has, and brilliantly.
We've posted a few more pics at PC's Flickr Site --- check them out!

I was supposed to be 5'9" and I turned out to be 5'3" on a good day.
your son? tall? rubbish.
my bro got some clubs at a yard sale a while ago and goes to the community college golf camp every year. he's trying to start a golf club at school, but i think halo 3 keeps distracting him. he even got new clubs last year for christmas, but also got a video game. guess which one won.
people have suggested to me that since my hubby is going to be a dr, i should learn to play golf and tennis. i worked in a country club, and based on what ive seen it also means i need to learn to drink 7 expensive scotches in a row and then drive home.
you are such a soccer/golf dad. how many mpg does your minivan get?
kbh---you seem much taller in real life. I figured you were at LEAST 5'5" ;-0).....must be your outsized persona...
deb---scotch, golf, driving home ... sounds like the same CC I worked at when I was in college! And the minivan (a mazda MPV---how did you know?) gets about 25 mpg. Stupid freakin' auto industry needs to do SO much better.
i knew because you're a soccer dad and soccer dads drive minivans.
oh, btw, we call it "The Van." This allows me to keep my man card.
