Today Liam saw the doctor for his one month well baby visit. He’s actually 6 weeks today- it was the soonest that we could get him in. He weighed in at 10 lbs, 5 oz! He’s growing like a weed!!! He’s actually right on average with the growth charts, but he seems so huge to me. Some of his 0-3 Month clothing is starting to feel tight and I’m contemplating bringing out some of the 3-6 month. With the three other boys, I didn’t even pull out the 3-6 M clothing until they were closer to 4 months, so this is all new to me. The doctor said that Liam was very healthy, and even remarked at how alert and calm he was. The “highlight” of the visit was Liam not only soaking through a fresh new cloth diaper the moment I put him in it and consequently leaving a big wet spot on the paper on the exam table (he is an extremely heavy wetter!),  but also spitting up all over my fleece jacket mere moments before the doctor walked in. He has NOT been a heavy spitter, unlike Ethan was, so it was totally unexpected and very gross! So, other than making a complete mess out of the exam table and me, things are great. He even took his Hepatitis B vaccination very well- he cried for about 30 seconds before he calmed himself down and fell asleep the way home from the hospital. He’s such a good baby, I’m totally smitten with him!
