normal and average

Today mommy, daddy and I went to Clinica Alemana to see Dr. Rodriguez. It was time for my 3 month checkup. (I know, I'm getting up there, aren't I?)

So, my buddy Dr. R checked me out and tested to see if I had hit the "normal milestones" for my age. I don't know what exactly "milestones" are but I seemed to pass his tests. When he smiled at me, I smiled back. When he stood me up, I put my weight on my feet. When he took my hands out of my mouth, I put them right back. When he wiggled a light in my eyes, I followed it.

I overheard the doctor telling mommy that everything seems completely "normal" for my age and that I am reaching those milestone thingys at the appropriate time.

After my little tests, mommy stripped me down to my bare bum and Dr. R put me on the scale. I've gained 700 grams and now weigh 4.740kilos (10.5 pounds). I've also grown a couple centimeters and am now up to 59cm tall! Mommy and daddy were especially happy since mommy had been afraid that I hadn't been eating as much. I coulda told her that I was ... but she's such a worry wort!

Anyway, Dr. R assured mommy and daddy that I am smack dab in the middle of my age group for weight and height.

So, everyone celebrate!!! I'm normal and average, and couldn't be any happier!!!
