Hi everyone! Well, on Friday my mommy took me to see Dr. Handelsman for my checkup, and the good news is that I am very healthy! The bad news is, I got two shots. Yuck! But I was brave and afterwards Mommy cuddled me and I even got a cool Bugs Bunny bandage! So…I am now 19 pounds exactly (I gained over 2 pounds since my last visit!), and I am now 28 1/2 inches long (a gain of an inch and a quarter). That’s 90th percentile for height, which means I will probably be a tall little guy like my big brother. Cool, huh? We’ll be able to get stuff down off the shelf for our mom!

I am also getting really good at this sitting up thing, if someone helps position me first. However, I am also trying to learn to sit up on my own from a laying down position. So far, what I’ve managed is to perfect a very good imitation of the ‘cheesecake’ photos from the ’50s - I lay on my side with my chin resting on my crooked arm, and I bend one leg, just so. Looking good, eh? Have a good week!

PS: I am discovering that there is a very funny monster named Elmo, and I think I would like to get to know him better. Mommy has a balloon of his head that she got for her birthday, and whenever I see it I flail my arms and get a HUGE grin on my face and try to talk to him! He just seems like a friendly sort!
