A Growing Pumpkin


Our Pumpkin sure is a growing boy! He went in for his 6 month checkup today, even though he's technically 7 months old (the result of switching insurance companies). He was supposed to get 4 shots today, but I recently decided that I was going to go on an alternative shot schedule for him in order to space them out a bit more. So today he only got 2 shots, and I can take him back for his other 2 in a few months (without having to even pay for an office visit, yay!). He was pretty good for the first one, just a little whimpering, but the second one made him MAD. Poor little guy, I would be mad too. Fortunately he calmed down pretty quickly once I held him close for a minute and he found his thumb again. Yes he's a thumb sucker.....


Here are his stats:


Height: 28 inches (79th percentile)

Weight: 19 lbs 10.5 oz (67th percentile)

Head Circumference: 18.25 inches (89th percentile)


Yes, he's got a noggin now. Fortunately he wasnt' a big-headed newborn like Mister was. It hurt a lot less giving birth to a small-headed baby! :)
