What's up, Doc?

The other day we took Jake in for his check-up. Our regular pediatrician is on vacation (it being August in France) so we saw another doctor in the practice. When he opened the door to greet us, both Colin and I were taken aback: he looked like a soap opera doctor, like someone out of General Hospital. Deeply tanned with very white teeth. Jake seemed to think he was a little odd, and perhaps untrustworthy:


But soon enough, they made each other's acquaintance and were ready for their close-up:


They're both quite photogenic, n'est-ce pas? The doctor was pleasantly surprised that we wanted to take a picture. He said no one had ever done that before. I think he was flattered!

Oh, and Jake's stats are quite impressive. Just two months after being born, he weighed in at 6 kilos and measured 60 cm long. For the 'muricans among us, that's a little over 13 lbs and 23.6 inches. Our litle Jacob Rémy is what the French call a "beau bébé," a bouncing baby boy.
