Yesterday Mommy and Daddy took Kodiak to his 2-month check up with Dr. Smith. Upon arrival we found two other young girls in the waiting room. I overheard their mommies saying they were each there for their 4-month check up. I said to Brett, "OMG, Kodiak is about the same size as those two girls!" We had been worrying for a few weeks now that our little guy wasn't so little! Then, we heard the nurse call "Kodiak McClurg", and we knew we would soon learn our fate.
The nurse had me strip him down to just his diaper and carry him to the cold, metal scale in the hallway. I removed his diaper, and the nurse said, "14....14....well, looks like 15 lbs even!" I couldn't believe it. Once we returned to the room, Brett couldn't believe the news either. The nurse then proceeded to tell us that Kodi measured in the 100th percentile for his weight! (In Kodiak's defense though, he actually a little over 10 weeks by the time we went for this appt...)
Next we measured his length... Since his 2-week checkup, Kodiak has grown an astonishing 3 inches!! I guess our little guy isn't so little anymore!! He actually measures in the 75th percentile for his length!
After all those measurements are said and done, I asked my doctor about his feeding habits as he looks to eat about every 2.5 hours in the dot. She suggested we increase his amount of formula from 4-5 oz to 6-7 oz per feeding. This is why I love our choice in pediatricians!! Where some doctors may suggest cutting back and putting him on a "diet" persay, Dr. Smith just said everything looks good and once he's moving more he'll easily burn off any unnecessary weight. So, looks like Mr. Kodiak is only gonna get bigger from here!!
The remainder of his check up went well. We have a very healthy little boy that God has blessed us with, and we can't wait to see what happens as he continues to grow!!
