9 month stats...

We took elijah in to the doctor for his 9 month check-up. Here are the stats:

Weight: 50th percentile (perfect)

Length: 90th percentile (so he's tall)

Head Size (Gord): above 95th percentile (um...genious?, or Five-head...)

If you don't understand Five-head, think about it for another second, if you still don't understand, take a nap.

Shot update: He still doesn't like them.



Now for my thought. I hate when he gets shots. If you know elijah, he is a pretty happy baby almost all of the time. He loves seeing new people, and almost always greets any person with a huge smile. Well when he needs a shot he is always so happy just before. Then the nurse always asks me to do the one thing I absolutely don't want to do "Could you please grab his arms and hold him?" Do I have permission to say no? Its horrible, because he smiles at the nurse, then he thinks that dad is playing because I'm holding his arms and am very close to him. That is until seconds later when that big smiley face changes instantly into mouth open, eyes shut, face red, and lack of breath because he is trying to scream. Then he has to open his eyes and see mine...

I'm sorry son, this really is to keep you safe, and healthy, I love you. I hope if anything you see that in my eyes...
