growing well at 2 months
Jonas had his two month check up today with our very nice pediatrician Dr. Clark. Biff and I bet on his percentiles (I said 40th and Biff said 55th) and we were way off. He is still 50th percentile in length but is 75th in weight. Dr. Clark called him a "chunk" and said he was doing great. He got 3 shots and an oral vaccine. He cried for a second and then was just fine, although he spent the afternoon sleeping. Here he is waking up and fussing. Note the band aid. And, yes, his face does get THAT red.
Jonas visits Greatgrammy
Jonas took a trip to Charlotte with his Mama, Grandmama and Aunt Cecelia to visit his Greatgrammy. Greatgrammy is a very funny and stylish lady with a serious sweet tooth who very much enjoyed his visit, although she was not overly impressed by her Vosges bacon chocolate bar that her daughter (my mom) gave her. Although I haven't tried the bacon one, I'm pretty obsessed with Vosges chocolate. However, I was pleased to discover her Twix stash in the toaster oven. Jonas was his usually happy self, playing until he passed out on the couch and then slept the whole ride back. Here are some photos from the visit, including Greatgrammy's butt in her rhinestone bedecked silver jeans. Yes, no pictures of me, seriously bad hair day.
Jonas meets Santa
Biff and I aren't religious, but we enjoy the midwinter lights, food, and foliage of Christmas, although NOT the music. So, when Jonas and his baby friend Ryder were hanging out while the moms walked UMall instead of the trails due to some inclement weather, I had Jonas pose with Santa. Santa was always such a fun part of my childhood, plus I love the kitsch factor.
