6-month appointment

Today was Anderson's six month check-up. Overall, everything was normal with no issues. He weighs 17 lbs. 3 ounces and is 26.2 inches long. He's gained 11 pounds and has grown 7 inches since we brought him home from the hospital.

The only strange thing with this visit was this was the first doctor's appointment where he did not pee all over the doc and the table.

Here he is getting ready to weigh in.Starting to look a little concerned here as he sees the doctor walk into the room.Looking very concerned here as he realizes he isn't here to play. In fact, he looks "scared poop-less". He is stiff as a board here. If I were to pick up his feet his whole body would have come up.We really like our pediatrician, Dr. Meng. I'm glad he grew his goatee out so he doesn't look 19 years old anymore.In comes the nurse and we both listen to the instructions as to what shots will be given.This was the worst part for all of us. And those needles just seem to be getting bigger.A few minutes later, still a few whimpers.One last moan......and all is good again.We're all driving back to Kansas City tonight and will enjoy a nice 3-day weekend before I start a conference next week at Fort Leavenworth. So we'll be in KC all next week and plan to move some things to Manhattan next Friday.
