We went to Connor's 6 month appointment on Monday. He is such a big, healthy boy! He weighs 18 lbs 14 oz, and is 27 1/2 inches long. Dr. Jon said he is right on target for weight, and he is "taller" than 3 out of 4 boys his age!
He got 3 shots this time, and it seemed to be a little harder on me this time. I am usually a trooper when it comes to his shots because I know that getting the vaccine beats the alternative! But because Connor is a little older, it seems as if he "knows" he's getting a shot now. Ok, like at his two month appointment, he was already screaming his head off when the nurse came in to give him his shot, so it didn't bother me at all! And at his 4 month visit, he was a little cranky before getting the shots, so it was no big deal. But THIS TIME, Connor was having a ball playing with the table paper, smacking it, trying to eat it, ripping it off, he was rolling every where and laughing at everything. When they had us hold him down, and then stuck him, he made the saddest face ever....it broke my heart...BUT, I didn't cry, so yay for mom! I am still considering myself a trooper. The real trooper, though, is Connor. He didn't cry long after getting his shots, and was fine for the rest of the night.
Happy and Healthy! That's our boy! :)
