Miles' 2nd plunket visit

Miles had his plunket nurse visit.  Plunket is the organization that does well child checks.  Our nurse came to our house twice, but now we'll be going to the clinic for both of the boys check ups.  Miles is tall and skinny.

wt: 11 lb 12 oz/5.3 kg (25%)...poor skinny guy
head: 39.5 cm (50%)
and I don't think she did length.

Miles is fussy if he tries to feed before 2.5 to 3 hours.  I don't push it and give him the pacifier.  I though he looked good.  The nurse wasn't concerned about his weight.  She said he looked really healthy, did great on tummy time (lifts and moves his head well), and is active with kicking and moving his arms.  I still am trying to push feeds a bit more, but maybe I should just stay with what works.  If he "snacks" he seems to eat for 1 min every hour and I like the better feeds that happen every 3 hrs.  He still doesn't feed for long.  One side for less then 10 min, usually around 5 min.

He's so tall.  He has a really long torso and we can't tell if his legs are short or if his torso is really long.  ha ha.

His right eye has some brown coming in, so he'll be a brown eye'd dude.

He has a small patch of cradle cap on his forhead and hairline.  I hope it doesn't get like Julian's was.  We had dandruff shampoo and cetaphil for his head, face, and ears.  I'm hoping the cooler weather helps with his skin.  His scne cleared up perfectly, but he breaks out from wool touching his skin.  All the mothers and professionals say they need to wear wool...ugh.  Not if it comes into contact with his face.

Julian was added to plunket too.
He was 13.46 kg (29.6 lb) (60%) and 37" (85%).
