Update from the doctor!

Well, we just had our 2 month check up yesterday, and Nolan turns nine weeks old today. :) The doctor told us that our little guy is "off the charts" - literally - for his age. He is 25 inches long, which doesn't even register on the growth charts for a two month old boy (go figure, with such a tall daddy!). He weighs 14 lbs 3 oz, which puts him in the 95%. Such a big boy already!!

We also learned that our little guy needs to start pediatric physical therapy. He has a condition called torticolis, which means that the muscles on the right side of his neck are not developing quite quickly enough - a result from being a long, breach baby. The condition will improve with PT, though - nothing permanent. They are also going to work on his hips in PT to make sure that he doesn't have any dislocation problems. Then, a "babygram" (full body scan) at 4 months to make sure that everything is lining up properly. Keep your fingers crossed!
