Pediatrician's Update
Phoenix visited his pediatrician on 8/20, and got some good news. He's growing like a weed! He's now 25 1/2" long and 13 lbs. 9 oz. Without even adjusting his age (not subtracting the 7 weeks that he was born premature) he's already in the 50th percentile in length. He's only in the 10th percentile in weight (before adjusting his age). But, his doctor is very impressed. He laughed and had a "conversation" with the doctor who noted how "social" he is and that he is "just sunshine"! He is very good at holding his head up, but can't roll over on his own yet. He can "stand" (put weight on his legs, when someone holds him by his hands).
He is doing well with his reflux and now only takes his liquid Zantac once a day (before bed).
Phoenix does have a doctor's appointment with an eye specialist, due to his "lazy" left eye. His doctor said this is a good time to get it "corrected" before it gets worse, and he starts to see double or just shuts it down. He may have to wear a patch, glasses, or just do "eye exercises". His appointment isn't until 9/21. We'll know more, then.
Phoenix also got a "clean bill of health" from his urologist on 8/6, regarding his circumcision. He will have a follow up appointment when he turns one, just to make sure everything still looks good.
