Finally, a successful check-up! Every time we’ve gone it was a crying, pooping nightmare. I really don’t think his pediatrician has seen him not crying. This time I was determined to have a good trip. I scheduled Caleb’s naps to coincide directly with the appointment time and made sure he was fed, clean, well rested and in a good mood before we went. All my hard work paid off. He was a super star. The nurses just doted on all of his cuteness and smiles and in return, he flirted with all of them.

He’s still a tall and skinny guy. He weighed 16 pounds even and was 26.75 inches. That puts him at 22% for weight and 62% for height. I have to shamelessly brag that his doctor was really impressed that he could sit up so well. He said that once babies become more mobile, they’ll thin out a little so his early sitting kind of explains why he’s on the thinner side. The doc also gave the go-ahead to start him on a sippy cup and stage 2 baby food.

He did surprisingly well with his vaccinations. He smiled at the nurse all the way up until the second shot was given, then he lost it. He recovered in just enough time to give the nurse a smile on her way out; bless his pea-pickin’ heart. His next appointment is in September. So hopefully we wont be back there until then.
