6 Month Check-Up Stats

I had my 6 month check up yesterday. Mom and Dad both took me and I was being such a tropper until......... We went to the back and the nurse was weighing me. She thought she wanted to "tickle" me in the meantime and I'm sorry, but I don't know you- why are you tickling me? I was about to get ill with her, but Mom and Dad quickly re-directed me back on a happy path. We then went to the back and waited for what seemed like forever for the Doctor. In the meantime, I was having a blast playing with that fun paper they put on the exam table and talking with Mom and Dad. The doctor finally came back, and Mom and Dad were not impressed. We recently had to change Pediatricians due to Dad's work changing insurances on us and we went from Awesome Blue Cross to not so hot Kaiser. Our previous Pediatrician does not take Kaiser, so we are now having to go to Snellville Pediatrics. As the appointment went on, Mom and Dad did not feel comfortable with our new Doctor and honestly thought this MUST be her first day on the job! She was not clear on anything my parents asked her and had to keep referring back to her paperwork she had in her canvas satchel she brought in with her- weird- and it just made them plain uneasy. She went in circles on explaining things to us and Mom basically had to answer her own questions. Long story short, we will not be seeing her again. Good thing to go to a practice where you can "Doctor Shop".
Then came needle time- that same "tickle" nurse came back with 4 huge needles and I was not having it. She was trying to amuse me, but I was not buying into her decoy. She got me twice in each thigh and I screamed bloody murder! My first time crying during shots, might I add, but I think the fact that I was not so into the giver played a huge part. I then received some way cool Snoopy band-aids and Mom scooped me up and gave me snuggles and I was good as new. I have to go back in 4 weeks to get my 2nd round of H1N1 and flu- Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!

Weight: 16.77 (32%)

Head Circ: 17 Inches (31%)

Basically, I am long and lean like my Mom was as a baby and how my Daddy is now. My parents were surprised about my head- since Dad thinks I have the biggest head ever- but it's just more room to store all my big brains!
