Now turn your head and cough

Peter had a pediatrician visit this morning. He’s still a healthy boy. He gained one pound since his last visit, which is the “texbook” growth – 1 pound every two weeks. He also resides at the 50th percentile for his measurements, too. Is it common to be so right-down-the-middle? Of course, they didn’t measure his belly or limbs, so maybe they’re still small and long, respectively.

He does have some strawberry shortcake growing on his back, or something like that. It supposed to go away in a couple years and isn’t anything to be worried about. “Just blood vessels.” (Hmmm, so this is what it was…)

It wasn’t mentioned at the doctor’s office, but he’s apparently developing a dimple on his chin (or as it is crudely known, a chin butt). I haven’t really noticed it, but his mom swears it’s there. I don’t doubt her, but I haven’t been paying attention to his chin these days. Chins don't change, do they?
