Rob and I put our jet lag aside and took Romi to his first doctor's appointment this morning. Dr. Cochran had wanted to see our little bundle of fun within 48 hours of our returning home (just as she does newborns), so we headed in. Luckily, the little guy had just gotten up from a nap and was, as usual, all smiles. He thoroughly charmed the office staff and the nurses. Even better, he got a great bill of health. The doctor says that developmentally he is absolutely where he should be. His eyes, ears and lungs looked great. He weighed in at 16.2 punds and reaches just over a very respectable 27 inches. He needs some vaccinations and some lab work (ugh!), but he's off to a great start. (She actually used the word "perfect" but as a humble Ima I'm avoiding that.) We go back again in a week. The other good news is that we get to start feeding him vegetables, so carrots will be on tonight's dinner menu. Should be interesting!
