crinkly paper

last week, reiken went for his 6-month pedi appt - no, not the fun ones that mommy goes in for at the nail salons either. nope - it was a doctors visit and this time, he actually knew what was going on. once we got into the room and set him down, he looked around at first and then you could actually see the fear overcome his little face as it started to fade to red... verdict: deathly afraid of laying down on that hideous, loud, crinkly paper on the doctor's tables! how could you blame him? he got a whopping 4 more shots and this time the tears starting flowing WAYYYY before the needles even appeared... he even had a stare-down with the doctor (using esp to convince her to skip the shots, but that obviously didn't work). the aftershock was crazy too as he would scream bloody murder everytime he was on his traveling changing pad! good thing he finally started to forget by the end of the weekend!

anyhoo - our pookie's new stats (as of 8/1/08):
head size 18.3 (90th %)
weight 19.11 lbs (95th %)
and now 25.5", yup thats now 2 feet and 1.5" more of our little mcrib!
