it's been a few weeks since i've mentioned how much i love bebe's pediatrician, which is just far too long given how very very much i love him. yesterday i was sitting at the table when my phone rang. it was dr. bastian, and he was just calling to see how bebe was doing.
!!!
i hadn't asked for him to call me or anything. i had called twice in the past two weeks about relatively minor things and spoke with nurses both times. he just wanted to check in and make sure everything was OK. when i told him she was still spitting up a lot, he asked if i'd mind bringing her in for a weight check.
mind?!? are you kidding? a guaranteed thirty minutes (because, did i mention, he's totally awesome and spends lots of time with us) with someone who only wants to talk about my baby? who actually is interested in my most minute observations about her? who tells me that she is "super-duper?" who talks to her in a cute baby voice about the "teefies" she's going to get soon?
if i weren't happily married, i'd want to run away with him.
so we went in, and yup, bebe looks super-duper. she's 13 pounds 15 ounces and he isn't concerned about her at all. two things that she really loves are being naked, and being on the table at the doctor's office. today she got to do both at once! she was a happy kid:

seriously, though, i can't be the only new mom to have a huge crush on my baby's pediatrician. i wonder if pediatricians are included in this book.
