Carter's 3-Month Doctor Visit

Look at those cheeks! It's funny that he looks so similar in all his medical updates, aside from gaining weight and length. Here are some pictures, and doctor's notes from yesterday's visit:



"Hello! This morning I had the opportunity to review little Carter, he has now reached his 3 months of life and has been, I am told, doing really well in the time since he was seen for the last time here in my office, he is more and more alert as the days go by and shows interest in what goes on around him will listen when spoken to and turns to the sound of voices, he is also quite vocal himself making cooing noises of his own and also smiles socially as well cries if disrupted, he is able, when on his stomach, to lift his face briefly from the bed, he now shows voluntary control of his arms and legs and will alternate opening and shutting his hands as well as kicks and pushes with his feet. I am told that he takes well his formula an is also receiving his ordered vitamin supplement. Upon evaluation today I found himin good health with no obvious physical or neurological abnormalities, his weight is 12 lbs 9 oz, length of 56.3 cms (22 inches). He received today his following dose of polio vaccine. Please findsome pictures attached. Best Regards."

We now have both babies' new birth certificates, that name us as the parents! They are our hija and hijo! We are going to be submitted soon for our "pink slip" which will give us our embassy appointment date and enable us to book our trip...I'm not sure if our agency will tell us when they've submitted us or just that we have "pink." But I'm on edge, people, I'm on edge!
