6-week Dr. Appt. Update

Today we saw RJ's doc and he is doing great! He is now 9 pounds 2.3 ounces and 21 inches long! The doctor was impressed not only by his rapid growth, but also by his strength - he is holding his neck up completely and also pushes off of you with his feet, in order to move! When he was born the circumference of his noggin was not even on the chart of percentiles, now his head's measurement is in the 12th percentile at 14 inches. The doctor also mentioned that he is coming close to doubling his birth weight; something most babies don't reach until they are about 3-4 months. He seems to be making up for lost time! =) He is such a big boy already and we love him! Hope everyone is well...
