8 week check-up

Joss had an excellent 8 week check-up today! He's grown over a pound and a half in the past 2 weeks (no wonder mommy is so tired) and is at the top of the growth curve for weight, height, and cute, er, head circumference.

He grabbed the measuring tape as the PA tried to take his measurements, and absolutely refused to let it go. Like, serious baby death-grip. He has a teeny hernia behind his belly button, but like his heart murmur (oh yeah, he has a little murmur - got the work-up in the NICU last month) it's benign and both should resolve themselves as he grows.
How to take the measure of a man.

C'mon measuring tape! Let's make a run for it!!

Joss is the exact same height and has the same head circumference as his brother did at 8 weeks. Joss "talks" a lot more than Paul did at this age, but like Paul, is only really fussy when he's gassy and when he's hungry (knock wood, spit at the evil eye).

Paul is always excited to say good morning to Joss, and eager to give his brother kisses when he comes home from daycare, and only steals Joss' blankets and toys some of the time.
