William

So William weighed in at 18lbs 7 oz and was 26 3/8 inches long! His weight is in the 80th percentile and his height is like 50 percentile. At least he now does not need to get shots for another 6 months!

The doctor said he was such a good baby, and wished all babies were as good as him. When he went to look in his ears William didn't squirm or scream, when the doctor went to look in his mouth William opened it on his own for him. It was great! We really like this doctor. He's the one that circumcised William and he's seen him a few times when he was still teeny tiny. We even stumped him! He asked if we had any questions and so I asked when do babies grow knee caps, since they aren't born with them. He didn't know, and neither did the other doctor working! Ha!

We also asked about getting teeth, because William still has none. He said it's 2 by 6 and 6 by 2. This means that usually babies have 2 teeth by 6 months...and 6 teeth by 2 years. But it's completely normal for babies to start teething any time from 6 - 12 months. Plus I was talking to Grandma Janie (Scott's mom) and his sister didn't have teeth until about a year old, and I do believe that teething is hereditary as when they come in. As a nursing mom I'm kinda glad he has no teeth yet, because he sure does like to gum everything and that can hurt!

If you remember William was a monster for Halloween...
Well doesn't the body of the suit look a little bit like an egg? I think so. So while shopping this past weekend I also picked up a pair of a dollar bunny ears to put on William...and this is what happened...

  1. wait, they really didnt know? Im pretty sure that babies grow knee caps around age one- knee caps are required for walking which is one reason why babies walk at different ages- they physically can not walk until they have knee caps....

  3. He mumbled the correct term for it and had no clue, he said he was going to look it up that night. Look at you miss smarty! You probably are better than some of the doctors are at the UIHC. :)
