They Poked Me Four Times!

This is me lounging after a tough morning of shots....

And this is my ticked off face........not too thrilled about this morning's activities.

Colt had to have four shots today, and man is that ever crappy to watch. But he's doing fine so far, a little cranky but that is to be expected. He weighed in at 11 lbs. 7 oz and he grew an inch since he last visit two weeks ago! He's 23 1/2 inches long now. I seriously can't believe that people give birth to babies that size, good God.

He gets to try veggies and fruits in two weeks, we'll increase the rice cereal for two more weeks and then see how he does with the spoon. She said if he isn't ready for the spoon we can cheat and put some in the bottles to fatten him up. He's almost weaned off of one of the reflux meds, so he'll just be on the one for the acid production. We've been moved to once a month for the doctor, which feels weird because we have gone in so many times in the past three months.

Colt is 11 weeks adjusted, so almost three months old. He's smiling a lot, kind of makes a laugh noise when he gets excited, is trying very hard to roll over, and lifts his big ol' head up for a few seconds when on his belly. Poor kid's head is so big he can hardly control it, but we're working on that! I can really notice a difference in his sight recently, he makes really great eye contact when he feels like it and stares at his toys now- where before he didn't seem all that interested.

She went over the charts with me, which to be honest I don't really understand all that percentile junk, but he's obviously not on the curve for his real age- he's super tiny compared to other 6 month old babies. But for his adjusted age, he is on the curve, still a little small but let's give the kid a break since he started out at 1 lb. 9 oz. He's gained 10 lbs!!
