It's that time again, back to the doctor for a check up and *Ugh* shots. Austin was pleasant and content on the way to the doctor (I think he's warming up to his car seat, I guess our daily trips out during the summer are paying off!) He was happy and giggly in the waiting room, loving starring at the toys around the room. His favorite was the table with the windy colored wires and the beads that slide along them. Everyone commented on how beautiful his eyes are, and I must agree, they are quite pretty (you're welcome son!).
He weighed in at 15 lbs. 8 oz., measured 26 inches tall with a 43 cm head circumference. That puts him in the 60th percentile for weight and 80th percentile for height. While waiting for the doctor, Austin LOVED looking at and talking to the frogs and ducks painted on the walls. He did get cold though, sitting around in just his diaper. I didn't have a blanket, but I was resourceful and used my sling to wrap him up. He was much happier then.
The doctor said he looks good, and isn't worried he isn't rolling over, as he's beginning to sit and grabbing his feet. The doctor left, and the nurse came in bearing a tray with 4 shots and an oral syringe. I had just given him some Tylenol before she came in, and he had no problems. He took the oral meds with no difficulty either. He cried and screamed with the shots, but after the nurse handed him to me, I nursed him, and he fell right asleep. He slept all the way home, including the transition into the car seat and from the car seat to his crib. He proceeded to take over a 2 hour nap, which was a relief to me. Here's hoping he doesn't have too much of a fever and isn't too terrible for the sitter tomorrow!!

Resourceful mommy!
So sleepy boy.
