Four month check-up

I know, it's hard to believe it's already been four months since I popped out of my momma. Seems like only days ago (not to mom and dad). So Friday I went to the doctor for my periodic check-up and second round of shots...eek. I had all my measurements taken first:

Length = 25 1/4"
Weight = 14 lbs 11 oz

Both put me in the 75th percentile for my age, so I'm still on track to be the greatest baby ever. Just wait.

Next came the shots. The first time I had them, you could tell the nurse practitioner was no Las Vegas casino dealer. I'm sure she tried to do them as fast as she could, but there was room for improvement. This time, however, was more like a NASCAR pitstop. She took off the caps to all of the syringes first and had the band-aids already halfway peeled off. She took each syringe, jabbed my leg, injected and moved on to the next one before I could get my first cry out. Once the shots were done, band-aids were applied with the same lighting quick accuracy. All it needed was that "wrrrrrrrrrr" noise that the air guns make they use to take the lug nuts off.

I did cry a little, I'll admit it, but mom stuck me straight to breast and I forgot all about it. Looking forward to the 6 month appointment already.
