Dr Sigg says "well, he is a big boy"

We just had Carter's two month check up with Dr. Sigg.  I know I don't have a lot of experience in the pediatrician field, but I am convinced he is the best doctor ever.  (thanks for the referral Beth and Kate) :)   Carter is doing well - hitting all of the milestones and growing at a good rate.  He now weighs 12 lbs 3 oz and is 23 1/2 inches long.  He is around the 80 - 85th percentile for both categories.   

Two nurses came into give him his 5 immunizations.  Carter was laying on the table smiling and talking to them as they were telling me what was going to happen.  It really looked like he was flirting with them.  Just when he thought he won them over they jabbed him with needles.  Fortunately, they were really good and the whole ordeal was over in less than 5 seconds.  He had a little milk and some tylenol and is now sleeping peacefully.  

From Cater's point of view things must be really confusing - two beautiful ladies in nurses uniforms walk in, take him away from his mom and lay him on a table.   He starts talking and cooing at them and they talk and coo back.  He thinks he has both of them eating out of the palm of his hand and then BAM, they jab him with needles.  If that isn't enough to scare him away from women, I don't know what is! :)
