It's official: Evan is bigger than Freya!

...though Freya (a.k.a. Bellycat) would still be ahead in the weight race if we left her to her own devices.

Yesterday Evan had his 2-month doctor's appointment, and he has continued growing at an exceptional pace! He weighs 14lbs 8oz, is 23.6 inches long, and has a 16.5 inch head circumference. This puts him at about the 75th percentile for his height, but he is literally "off the charts" for both his weight and head size (above the upper line)! He is one big little guy!

Unfortunately Evan had his first immunizations yesterday (soooooo hard for a mother to watch!!), and he felt sick for the rest of the day. He just wanted to be held and to sleep. This photo was taken soon after we returned home from the doctor's office.

Thankfully he was feeling much better this morning, after a good night's sleep, and he woke up cheerfully on his 2-month birthday!

Hee hee! Cieran was similar - heavy with a big head. He's slimmed down now but still has a big head - I have to buy shirts with buttons or snaps because I can't get pull-on shirts over his head!

Poor little guy! I HATE shot time at the doctor office. I always made my appointments for days when Doug could come. He was the one that had to hold them down while the nurse attacked. I got to be the one to save the day by swooping them up the second it was over.
