6 Big Ones!

He's six months old! We went to the doctor today and he weighed in at 16lbs and 13oz. That's in the 40th or 50th precentile for his age. He is 27 inches long, which is in the 75th percentile. He's still a lean weenie, but it's probably because he is a very active little boy. Always wiggling! Except for today, after he got his shots. At the doctors he took the pain really well, not crying very much or very loud. I calmed him down in a few minutes. I kept telling him how brave he was. He is a really tough baby. It's horrible to be glad he had to be in pain but he actually slept for 3 long hours! I was so excited, but he is still having a rough time, he's got a cold and is dealing with the vaccines and sore muscles. He is asleep now, and I hope he will get lots of sleep tonight. He needs it because he has had a DAY today.
The puppy in these pictures was Shane's birthday present. His name is Bruce and he is very interested in Conner and his toys (ugh).

  3. Shots are the worst! I think that is one of the hardest parts of being a new mom... to have to help hold them still and have their little eyes look up at you in shock and pain.
    :( I hope you get some rest!

  4. Didn't get a lot of sleep last night. He ran a slight fever. Wasn't too horrible though so I'm hoping history won't repeat itself and he will be able to sleep well.
