Two-month check-up: Trey went to the pediatrician on Friday (the 13th!) for his two-month check-up. He weighs around 12.5 pounds, and is 22 inches long. That means that he's nearly double the weight that he was when he was born, and he is about 4 inches longer.

Question: at what point do we start measuring his stature as "height" instead of "length"? Does that not happen until he starts walking?

Also: Trey apparently wasn't all that responsive to a light waved in front of his face, preferring instead to stare at something across the room. The pediatrician suggested that we make an appointment with a pediatric ophthalmologist, just to make sure that his eyesight is OK. We don't think it's a problem, particularly considering he seems to be looking around all the time. True, sometimes he doesn't look at us when we're up close to him, but that could just be because he's sick of us or something. Tina is supposed to make the appointment with the P.O. (that's short for "pediatric ophthalmologist," which is much too long of a term) today.
