Gettin' Heavy!

Resting on the morning of his doctor appointment.

It's been a while since I've been able to post!  Lack of sleep does that I suppose.

Ian had another checkup today at the Doctor's office.  This time we met with Dr. Dave Rinzler, who I sang with when I was a member of the Mystic River Chorale.  It was another great checkup.  Ian's weight was 7lbs 10oz, which is up 5oz from his last visit and still right on track.

Dr. Dave was VERY thorough with Ian and I was quite pleased and impressed.  The last doctor we saw just sorta looked Ian over and that was it.  Dr. Rinzler broke out his tools and checked Ian's ears, eyes, nose, throat and other bits.  He checked Ian's step reflex (he has one) and a host of other things that, in hindsight, seemed like things that last doctor SHOULD have done but just didn't bother.

What struck me most about Dr. Rinzler was his willingness to stay and answer questions that we had. He not once seemed rushed to get to his next patient, and not once seemed frustrated with our "first-time parent" questions.  So kudos to you Dr. Rinzler, and thank you!

The good Dr. would like to see Ian again on Tuesday to check his weight, since we have questioned whether or not we need to continue with the high-calorie formula supplement.
