Treats at the doctor’s office
October 15, 2007 11:36 pm GeneralToday you had your 9 month check up with Dr. Sanders.
Weight: 20 lbs (50th percentile)
Height: 29 in (75th percentile)
You got the first of two flu shots today. We have to go back next month for the second half because that’s just the way they do it for infants! I wasn’t expecting you to get any shots today, but you did. You cried for about two seconds, then quickly forgot about the pain.
You also had your finger pricked for an iron test. You didn’t seem to mind that at all. You were very compliant, letting the nurse catch your blood in a little vial. Afterwards, she put a cotton ball on your finger to stop the bleeding, then covered it with a band-aid.
The nurse warned me to take off the band-aid when we got to the car so Sam wouldn’t play with it.
The door had barely shut behind us as we were leaving the waiting room and I noticed the band-aid was gone. Yep, you had eaten it off your finger and were enjoying the nice cotton & plastic treat from the nurse!

Ha! When I read the title, I wondered what kind of treat they gave to infants, but I would have never guessed a band-aid and cotton ball!

I told you he was getting skinny! 50% percentile?!? Do I need to start baking? We clearly need to get the boy some more calories.
Seriously, he is dreamy.
