Well, we just put G down for bed.  He is getting close to sleeping nine hours every night and BM and I aren’t able to sleep past 6a.  Truth be told, we prefer to be up and moving by around 5:15a, but sometimes we have to get some sleep.

So, today was G’s two month doctor visit.  Everything looked great according to the doctors.  G weighed in at 13lbs 13oz.  He was 25 inches long and his head was 41cm around (he has a big head like his daddy :)  The funny thing was that both the nurse and the substitute doctor (ours wasn’t available today) told us how great Grayson was doing since he was in the 75th percentile for all three measurements - the implication was that Grayson was doing better than 75% of the babies his age.  The truth is, those numbers aren’t a grade or score, they are just a measure to show how our child compares in growth to other children.  A child that is in the 25th percentile isn’t worse off than a child in the 75th percentile.  Not to mention, if all my years of school serve me well, having a score of 75 is actually not all that great (a C I think).  

Now, if we were talking baseball players, someone batting 750 would be making all the money his ball club could pay him (oh, that raises another question…why aren’t there any women pro baseball players?).  However, you probably wouldn’t want an auto body repair shop to fix only 75% of your car after an accident.  Oh, how I digress.  Needless to say, his appointment went well and he is down for the night.  Time for us to take care of a few more things before our sleepy time begins.
