Parker at 10 weeks

We had a slightly delayed 2 month exam. So here are Parker's stats as of 9 1/2 weeks...
Height: 23 3/4 inches = 72%
Weight: 13 lbs, 7 oz = 80%
So in 2 months, he has grown 2.75 inches and gained 3.8 lbs. However, he is nicely in proportion. He just feels like he's the size of a 4 month old to me. He's doing well with meeting "developmental milestones." The ones we're currently enjoying are his great head and neck control, his ability to push himself up during tummy time, his increasing social smiles (he is now smiling in response to being smiled at and/or talked to), lots of cooing, and he is now pushing up and supporting his weight in response to being held vertically with something under his feet. And my favorite: laughing in his sleep. Adorable! Can't wait until he does it when he's awake!
He did great with his shots, didn't cry for long. Oh, and the tooth? Probably not. It is curious, because it hasn't come in any further, hasn't changed shape, so the Doc thinks it's probably a harmless little cyst which should work itself out in time.
Currently, Parker is in 3 month (getting short, but okay around the middle) or 3-6 month clothing. His newborn shoes are a little too small, but the size 0s still fall off.
