Today we went to the doctors office and got Jonah his first round of shots. Andrew "took the day off" of work (not really, he never gets a day off, he'll just do work at home) to go to the appointment with us. I did not want to be alone when they punctured my baby boy. At the beginning of the exam Jonah did not like having his head measured and proceeded to scream from there on out. The good part was that he was already crying when they administered the shots so it eased us into the piercing scream that came with the poke. Jonah cried a lot, I cried a little, and Andrew didn't cry at all. He is the rock of the family!
At the appointment we also found out Jonah's newest weight and length. This man is on a roll! It has only been 2 weeks since his last weigh in and he is already up another pound! At 6 weeks and 1 day old he is tipping the scale at 13 pounds 1 ounce and measures 24 inches. We have switched almost totally over to 3-6 month clothes. These are a new pair of big boy jammies that are oh so cool because they look like an old school Atari game. Too fun!

First shots are so hard. Phil made we wait outside because I was such a nervous wreck. The good thing is the babies get over it a lot faster then we do. Hang in there Katy
Hey Cuz,
Way to go! Thirteen pounds!! It took me four and a half months to get there. I'll have you know, however, that at my six month check-up yesterday, I tipped the scales at eighteen pounds.
I know what you mean about the shots...they're the pits. I got three yesterday but Mama says I did pretty good. My secret...play with the exam table paper. It makes cool sounds when you roll on it and crinkle it between you hands and feet.
Can't wait to meet you in a few weeks!
