Today Reed had a little bit of a rough day but he, the tough cookie that he is, never lets on to the camera. It was his 4 month check-up with the pediatrician today, which unfortunately for him meant shots. Apparently Reed had forgotten our last visit (and shots) because he looked around the exam room eagerly, checking out the gadgets on the walls and countertops. The nurse weighed and measured him. In case you were wondering his stats:
Weight: 14 pounds, 12 ounces
Height: 26.75 inches
So that's a little on the low side for weight and at the very top of the charts for length. He's long and lean, just like his 9 foot tall, oops, 6 foot 4 inch tall Daddy.
The Doc says he's on track developmentally and looks great. If anyone was wondering what happened with his earlier tests, everything is completely normal and Reed has a clean bill of health.
Reed had 3 shots in the legs (see band-aids above) and 1 oral vaccine (which he started with and was equally as bothersome as the other shots). He cried and cried, until we were packed up to leave and a cute, young nurse came over and he manage to stop crying and flash her a little smile, before losing it again.
After Reed took a little nap and woke up grumpy again, we went for a walk around the neighborhood, something he always enjoys and that was the case tonight too. He settled right down and as you can see from the photo, he was teasing and playing with his Dad when he got home from work. Reed's our little tough guy and he did great today!
