Growing . . . a lot.

John David had his two month check-up yesterday. Our pediatrician confirmed what we already knew:

Indy's a big boy.

He's been growing a lot, and yesterday he tipped the scales at 15 pounds, 15 ounces. Not surprisingly, he's in the 98th percentile for weight! The official length measurement was 24.4 inches. (They convert it from centimeters, which accounts for the somewhat strange numbers.) We think there's a decent chance he's longer than that, though -- he wasn't particularly cooperative when the nurse tried to stretch him out!

We are truly grateful for such a healthy little boy, who's growing in size and strength. John David is already demonstrating his nascent super-powers during tummy-time. Of course, he's got a sister to show him how things work, and that helps a bit!

Madeline relishes her opportunity to "teach" her baby brother.

(Kathleen hadn't woken yet, or she'd have been right there, too!)

John David doesn't hesitate to make his voice heard when he needs something -- he can certainly holler when wants to be fed or held or moved (sometimes the scenery gets a bit boring, I suppose). But he's also "talking" to us more, cooing and gurgling and even giggling. Every member of the family relishes his sweet smiles. We're so blessed to be able to watch him grow!
