He did really well during the first part of the exam. He now weighs 14lbs 3oz and is 24 1/2 inches long! This is actually a fourth of an inch shorter then he was last time! Our regular nurse is on maternity leave, so we'll blame the stand in for the loss in length! Length = 95%, Weight = 95%, and Head Circumference = 50%. (If your child is in the 20th percentile for weight, for example, he weighs more than 20 percent of children his age and less than the other 80 percent. I never understood this until I had him.) His weight really caught up to length since last month! He likes to eat as much as his Mommy and Daddy do! The second part of the visit wasn't as much fun. 4 vaccines total. One oral and three shots. The poor little guy! I haven't heard him cry like that since he was born. Such a sad sight. Here's a shot of his battle scars... To make things even worse... they gave him girly band-aids! (which I'm saving of course!)
I had a bottle ready for him as soon as the nurse was finished. It really seemed to help calm him down. He did really well the rest of the day. We gave him a little Tylenol when we first got home because he was acting like his legs were sore.
"And then his mean lady gave me not one, not two, but THREE shots! But I was tough. I only cried a little bit!"
Not sure if it's vaccine related, but we had TWO blow outs when we got home. One was MAJOR. All over Mom major! While I was feeding him I said, "wow, he's really sweating a lot." Yeah, that wasn't sweat...
Passed out after a little shot of Tylenol
He started to get a little fussy about an hour after his 7:30 feeding. I laid him down in bed so I could get another round of Tylenol ready. Next thing I know... it's 7:00 am! He didn't even wake up for his last feeding! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's not just from the shots!!

We have a "few" packages of size 1 to return...
We had a mystery gift left at our house last night. I was rocking Austin when I heard someone pull in the driveway. G'ma and G'pa Salger were coming over to check on the little patient so I didn't think anything of it. All of a sudden I heard someone knock on the front door. By the time I got up, laid him down and got to the door the visitor was gone. All I saw was a white SUV pulling out of the drive way and a gift bag in between the doors. If anyone has any info let us know! We'd like to thank them for the very nice gift! (I think the 08 bulldog is so cute since Daddy was a bulldog in high school!)
