9 Months: Doctor Appointment

August returned to visit his pediatrician after a several month hiatus. Weight and length were, of course measured and so it must therefore be charted.



He's now 21 lbs, 11 ozs, which is lighter than we thought but still in the 75th percentile. He's 30.5 inches long, which is long - 90th+ percentile. It makes sense... he seems really huge in Mary's arms when I step back with some perspective and take a look.

Poor kid got jabbed with a flu shot, and then they took his blood, the vampires. Poor kid. Really made him mad. And this was the first trip to the doctor where I wasn't there with him to help him out. When I heard how traumatic it was, I felt very guilty not to have been there to support the little guy.
