Graham visited Dr. Albiek this morning for his well check. The doctor was impressed with his eye contact, head control, and fat rolls. Who wouldn't be?! He weighed in at 13 pounds, 1 ounce (90%) and measured 23 1/4 inches (50%). After my tall and skinny Jack, I was surprised that Graham is shorter and, er, fuller. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised though, knowing how much he loves to eat and sleep!
Graham did have to get two shots and they are not treating him well. The poor thing has had a couple screaming fits today, which are unlike him. I was rocking him earlier and while he was sleeping, he was just whimpering. He looked so pitiful. As I was holding him and gazing at him, the thought crossed my mind, "this is the first of many hurts that I will have to watch my little guy experience in this life." My heart just aches thinking about him having to go through any kind of pain. Oh, how much I love my sweet baby!
I'm reminded of this quote by Elizabeth Stone that I came across when Jack was a baby: “Making the decision to have a child - It's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.”
Here are a few pictures of my heart (one of them):
