Big baby

So we took Matthew in for his check up for his hypothyroidism. The doctor weighed him, measured him, and checked him out. Matty weighs 16 lbs. 10 oz. and is 25 inches long. My son is huge!!! He is only 3 months old! The doctor said that he is in the 97% for both height and weight. My son is going to be a linebacker or rugby player or something like that at this point. He was in his 3-6 mos. clothes at about 2 1/2 mos. And some of those are already getting too small! And when the doctor put him on his belly, Matty lifted his bottom in the air and made himself look like a little triangle. She said that if he could figure out his arms, he would probably start crawling. My baby is growing up too quickly!!! It is so sad to me. He can interact with us really well. If we mimic his noises, he will have a "conversation" with us. It is so cute! Matthew is such a happy baby. And his new favorite song is "Pop Goes The Weasel". He is such a blast! The nurse at the doctor's office said that babies grow this fast to make room for the next one. I said that we are not ready for that yet! I would like to have more time before we even try for the next baby. And after we have number two, we are going to start the adoption process. We both decided that is something we really want to do. I think that we are going to try for a Russian baby girl. Odds are that the next baby will be a boy as well and we would like to have a little girl. But that isn't going to be for another couple of years yet. For now we are just thoroughly enjoying our beautiful baby boy. I love being a mom!
