Hello, everyone! Zeke had his second "well baby" check up yesterday with the pediatrician. After all the weigh-ins in the first few weeks, I had really come to miss going to the doctor's office and getting the baby weighed. So, I was excited to go. Our baby boy is now 10 pounds, 10 ounces and 23 3/8 inches long and perfectly normal! Even Zeke's little bicycle helment shaped head is starting to change its shape to something a less aerodynamic and more baby appropriate. His legs and feet are also straightening a little. The good doctor noted that Zeke is starting to look like a chubby baby with rounder cheeks. And, he only cried a little while we were there.
Still, he did cry. He didn't enjoy the time out of his clothes, getting on the scale and then getting back in his clothes. He also had to poop -- Baby's least favorite thing to do. He probably did cry more than the other two babies that were also in the office at the same time. It's a small office with a single doctor in the practice so you know when other people are there. One of the babies was this very cute and very large baby who was there with his sister Ava who I guess was four years old. They were leaving as we scheduled our next appointment. Zeke, though apparently not being ravaged by wild animals, was nonetheless crying. 
Ava was getting ready to leave and put on her movie star sunglasses. She then asked her mother, "What happened to that baby?"Aaron answered her that Zeke had gotten weighed and measured and checked. She told Aaron, he reports, "My brother got weighed and measured." She said no more and let us fill in the blanks: Aaron's answer had not satisfied her as her brother had not cried and that in fact something must be wrong with Zeke.
