The results are in! Beano is 27½ inches tall and weighs 16.65 lbs. He is tall for his age (93rd percentile) but not heavy at all. Tall and slim, just like his mamma bear.
The doctor said everything looked fine, except for his rashes. We were told to lube him up many times a day and his rashes should improve quickly. Were given a list of creams to use on him, I asked if we could dip him in lard.
Next step in his development is the quest to make him sleep through the night. At the moment, he wakes about two times per night but according to his age he should be able to sleep from 20-6. The process of making him sleep for a longer period won't be fun. It requires us to make him cry without us picking him up to comfort and calm him down. We should only observe him and possibly put a hand on him to make sure he is fine, nothing more.
Looks like I'll be a stay-at-home dad and grad student come spring. Had to take the TOEFL to prove my English was good enough for school. I scored 108 out of 120. Next up is the GRE, not looking forward to it.
At the moment I am looking forward to the spring and the changes it will bring. I am sure it won't be easy juggling Beano and school, but I feel now is the time to make a career change before I am too old and even grumpier.
Oh well, one thing at a time. First I have to make it through this afternoon so that I can go home.

Philly Swede
