On the 20th of April, Sam turned 2 months old and yesterday it was time for his second visit to his pediatrician, Dr. B. In case you haven’t read my first posting on Sam’s pediatrician, you can check it out here. I recommend you check it out, just for the picture alone!
In short, this dude has some serious, professional quality, ear hair. But all kidding aside, he’s very patient and attentive… which must be tough with all that ear hair
So he checks Sam out and barks a bunch of numbers and words out to his assistant who’s busy scribbling away on her clipboard. Everything is going well and he then pulls down Sam’s diaper to check out his twig and berries. But in doing so, he bends down and sticks his nose about 3 inches from Sam’s 3rd leg…and I’m thinking: “Buddy, if Sam lets it rip, there is no way you make it out dry…“. Sam’s little soldier, stirred by the influx of cool air, suddenly stands at attention
I’m already thinking of ways to apologize to Dr. B. for Sam’s quick trigger, but all is well as the diaper is put back into place before any damage is done.
After that close call, the rest of the appointment went well, here are Sam’s 2 month old stats:
- 11.8 lbs (up from 10.1 lbs one month ago)
- 23 1/4 inches long (up from 21 1/4 from a month ago)
- 41 cm head diameter (up from 38.5 one month ago) - which means he will be super intelligent and rule the world
To finish up, Sam got his first 2 vaccination shots
He did cry a bit as he took a needle in each thigh. But he soon stopped crying as Melissa held him close and whispered sweet nothings to him to calm him down. Way to go Mommy! I told you she was good right?!?
Soon after, Sam was sleeping easy in his car seat, heading home with Mom…while Dad went to work thinking about how lucky they are to spend so much time together
Can summer vacation get here fast enough?!?!


Oh boy…..I would have loved it if Sam would of taught that Dr. B a little lesson of respect LOL….. I loved the way you created the build up on that one.
He is so handsome my little nephew ….keep up the good work guys , he is growing up to be a very strong , tall and intelligent young man.
PS I loved him in his little jogging outfit from the spring cleaning day.
You are correct Cindy…Sam’s gonna rule the world with his good looks, wit and mighty physical strength!!! He might even be a superhero…you never know
And yes, Sam loves to be pimpin’ in his flashy red track suit! I think I’ll buy one for myself…then we’ll match!
