Long Lean Model

Today I took Jagger for his 4 month check up and the dreaded shots. When we got there he was already a little fussy because he didn't get a morning nap because we went to see my aunt before the appointment. By the time I go to the check in area and waited (after a lady cut in front of me when I turned around to deal with Jagg) he was screaming like crazy. A drug rep that was there was even looking around the corner to see why he was screaming! Anyway we finally got back in the room and we was great. Here are his stats: Head size- 30 percentile, weight -14lbs 22 percentile, length- 26 inches 91 percentile!!! Hilarious! I asked if that was OK him being skinny and long and the nurse told me it is like having the " Long Lean Model instead of the Short Chunky one". I am not surprised because Brian is so tall and I am so lean! JK
The doctor did say this has nothing to do with how he will be in the future. After all the measuring then the shots. He started getting a little fussy before they came back with the shots. They gave him a little sugar water, THEN....... wham-o!!! 3 shots! YIKES! He was ticked and stayed ticked for a while. I finally got him calmed down and he fell fast asleep and has been asleep now for 2 hours! Bless him. He was so mad. It was the first time, that my knees felt week and I was really upset because he was hurting. Well the circumcision was a scary thing too but this time he actually looked at me and cried. My heart broke and I was reminded of how in love I am with him.

Shots are the worst! I feel like Caden looks up at me wondering why I'm letting him hurt and it just crushes me... I just wish I understood why they couldn't just combine all of the meds in to one shot instead of 2-3... :( I'm glad to hear our posts make you laugh! :) There are so many funny things about living here...
