Nine Week Big Ole Boy!
He is in pretty good spirits in this picture, but I assure you it has been a long and tearful day for little Thomas.Well, not so little!
Today was his 2 month check up at the pediatrician, and that meant shots! He got 3 injections and an oral vaccine. I was doing pretty well since I am now a seasoned parent. That is until he gushed blood. I have never seen blood squirt out from the injection site before--but it happens. The nurse felt awful because it got all over his onsie. She said that can happen when they tense their legs.
He made it out okay, and while he may look like his daddy he is apparently going to be built like me: short and chunky.
He was 12 pounds, 12 ounces which is in the 75th percentile. He was 23 inches long, which is only in the 50th percentile. He looks bigger than that, as the pedatrician pointed out. But, she checked it twice and came up with the same numbers. His big head was 16 inches and that is also in the 75th percentile.
Even though Mamaw & Papaw are here to help daddy move and they haven't seen him in a month, mommy couldn't let him go today. Poor thing was miserable all day and I had to give him two doses of Tylenol. He has bruises on his legs as well. Gracie never needed Tylenol and after the shots she was just fine. I told you--these kids are night and day!
