It's terrible how they treat babies around here - I don't know what this nurse was trying to do to me! Papa told me that she was just measuring my height but I don't know it seemed like some medieval torture device designed to stretch me out or something - very weird, I didn't like it as you can see!
Anyway, we found out that I am doing really well (despite Nurse Ratched!) I have grown in both weight and height and now I am at the 55th percentile for my age. I currently weigh 10lbs, 6oz. and am 21.8 inches long. Mama and Papa were really surprised and then a little scared because they wondered how I could have gained 2 1/2 pounds in one month. My doctor told them that I am doing great and to keep up the good work. I think she is a smart doctor and I like her (mostly because she said that I could keep drinking as much milk as I wanted!) but she also said that babies gain 2-3 pounds per month and that I was normal for my age. I tried telling Mama that I am just a good eater and not to worry but she said that all mama's worry.
So "That's the news from Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average." Sorry, my 55th percentile statistic made me think of Garrison Keillor!
Nice doctor visit in spite of that mean nurse. Tell your parents that they are doing a good job. No worries, be happy.
