OHV

i never did share mosey's stats from his six month checkup.  i was cleaning out his diaper bag and found an index card with these numbers scribbled on it:

• 27 3/4" 90% (length)
• 43 1/2 cm (head circumference) 
• 18 lbs 12 oz 75% (weight)

so, the numbers confirm that he is indeed a big boy, in case that was in question.  i thought that since he's so chubalicious that he would be in a higher weight percentile, but he's actually taller than he is heavier.  so, i worry, constantly i worry, but not about anything that needs worried about.

and these are some open, honest, and vulnerable moments, my friends...  i'm going to share with you what else was on the card--questions i had for the pediatrician:

• startles easily
• turns away from faces
• curled feet most of the time
• mucus in poop

it's open, honest, and vulnerable because, in my right mind, i would look at those things and know that they are all very normal.  but because they're about our little mo-mo, i just don't know!  i'm neurotic.  our pediatrician, who is ever-patient, but extremely non-alarmist (which i like), assured me that all these things were, yes, all very normal.  and that if i wanted, i could try cutting things out of my diet one at a time to see what the culprit might be.  dairy might be a good place to start.  

he also looks unbelievably like Brendan Fraser.  it's unbelievable.  

also, he told us that little guy could eat anything we eat now and it would be okay.  seriously? it's unbelievable, doctor brendan.

love,
