Eli's Stats

Eli had a checkup today. Our regular doctor was out of town so we had a different doctor look at him.
We made it all the way through the appointment without any mention of Eli's flat head. I wasn't going to say anything about it if the doctor didn't notice, but as he was leaving, I had to see what his opinion was on Eli's head shape. He took a look at it and said, "If you hadn't have said anything, I would have never noticed. I think it looks just fine. It should round out as soon as he starts sitting up. I've seen much worse." YAY!

Hearing Eli's head is rounding out may have been one of the happiest moments of my life. My hard work has been rewarded. Let's just hope our real doctor is as optimistic about the long-term shape of Eli's head.
Here are his stats:
Weight - 16 pounds 5 ounces (69%)
Height - 26 inches (78%)
Head - 17 inches (50%)
And finally, you guys had to have seen this one coming:

CUTE :) I'm glad we could see you guys last night. I would have played more with little Eli but I'm too paranoid of getting him sick. I look forward to more Sequence rounds the next time we're together.

Cutest little Gerber baby ever! Thanks for sharing the stats. You didn't let us know how he (and you) survived the shots part of the visit.
