Awww. Keegan had his (not quite) eight week old well baby checkup today and got three shots. Poor kid has two big band-aids on his little legs, and was not and has not been very happy since. It's going to be a rough day for both of us. His doctor detected a small heart murmur, but says it is no cause for concern and that he will probably grow out of it eventually. Keegan is still a tiny baby - wjp would would have thought that would be the case with Angus and me as parents? He is only 10th percentile for weight, 14th for height and, of course, 25th for his head (now that's a Pollard trait for sure!). The doctor wasn't worried that he is small, and anticipates that he'll "catch up" to his friends eventually. As far as having colic, which is no fun, he'll grow out of that too - we only have to wait until month three or four for that!  Posted by Picasa

Poor Sweetie.I'm sure it hurt you as much as it did him...Don't worry about being small,Angus was always one of the smaller ones in his class and look at him now! Hope Keegan feels better soon and as I said before being small will make it a lot easier for me to carry him, especially up and down stairs.
