Additions To His Doctor Visit

It turns out that being a big baby is not at all a bad thing. I was so ecstatic when Dr. Stone told me to actually increase his formula intake (he's already getting PLENTY of food). Christopher weighs 22 pounds, 97%. He is 28.3 inches long, 94%. His head circumference is a whooping 46.5 c.m., 97%. I was really worried when the nurse told us his stats but they told us that Christopher needs extra weight as an infant in order to burn it off as a toddler.... as Christopher is thinking, "BRING ON THE FOOD"!


He is however just getting over a stomach virus that I didn't even know he had. Evidently he has had it for almost 2 weeks now, according to his white blood cell count. It was 15,200 when a normal count is about 900- 1000. Doctor stone said that it was good that his body was fighting off the virus on its own without medication. Which makes me feel a little better about the 102 degree temp he had last night.

These are a few photos from the doctors office this afternoon....
