6th Month Doctor's Appointment

Yesterday I took Jackson to see Dr. Wagner for his 6 month appointment. He was such a good boy! Of course all the nurses went crazy for him and most of them remembered him. No one could get over how much he has changed in just 2 months! He is still a little peanut- he now weighs 14lbs 8oz and is 26" tall- so he gained exactly 2 lbs and got 2" taller since last visit. He got 4 immunizations this time around but thankfully only two shots. They were his Polio Vaccine, Pneumoccal Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPV), Diphtheria Tetanus & Pertussis (DTaP) and the Hepatitis B Vaccine. He was so good when they did his shots, hardly cried at all! I was so proud of him. What a very brave boy.

For some reason I thought we wouldn't have to go back for more shots until he was a year. But that is not the case. We actually get to go back when he is 9 months for another set of vaccines. I look forward to these being done already!

I have added a new ticker to our homepage. It is counting down the days until the Outer Banks! We are so excited to be going on vacation- as of today, only 15 days to go! Yay! I better start packing- it is amazing how much stuff an infant needs!

On Sunday we get to babysit Sophie again. It is so much fun watching the babies together. I just know they are going to grow up to be the best of friends. The way they interact is so adorable. I know that watching Sophie, Jackson is learning so much. Plus he has to be able to fight back- she always steals his toy and crawls away. He needs to be able to go after her and get it back! He is trying so hard to learn how to crawl. It should really be any day now. And then watch out world!
