I am napping right now after what I consider a pretty traumatic day. Mommy took me to the pediatrician for my two month check up. The doctor was really nice and even warmed up the stethoscope for me :-) I am 24 inches long which puts me in the 90th percentile! Daddy knew I was going to be a basketball star. The doctor also predicted that I would be mobile faster than most babies, he noticed how strong I am. I weigh 11 lbs 14 oz which is the perfect weight for my gargantuan height. Look... you can tell by my hands that I am going to be as tall as daddy.

Everything was going great at the doctor's, I was smiling my biggest smiles for the kind doctor and even cooing. Then out of nowhere the doctor with the warm smile held me down and stuck me with a needle five times in the thigh!! I screamed and screamed! That sneaky man! He called them my "vaccinations".... I have another name for it. Here is a picture of my battle wounds
After the evil doctor and his needles left the room, mommy held me, rocked me, and fed me. My tears stopped as I concentrated on mommy. I would've totally forgotten everything if Garfield wasn't there to remind me. Now I am sleeping off my very emotional experience.

Now a little update on my family. Daddy got a great new job at Restaurants on the Run (where Mommy and Daddy worked during undergrad and fell in love). Restaurants on the Run is taking their brand national and daddy is in charge of the entire process. This is how my daddy and I spend every evening..
Mommy had to take a semester off from her masters program to take care of me and we spend the day doing really fun things. Yesterday we joined ten other mommy and baby partners and took a long power walk up and down the hills around Mission Viejo Lake, we are going to do that twice a week. We also do gym time which is helping me improve my coordination and muscle strength.
Love,
Gavin Riley Turner
PS - Mom swore she would never do anything this corny
