Check up stats

Nate had his 6 month check up today, and I thought I'd update you on where he's at. He now weighs in at 17 lbs, which is in the 45th percentile for weight. His head is in the 70th percentile and he is 27 1/2 inches long, which is in the 80th percentile. So, we have a tall baby with a big head who is average weight. I would have thought he was heavier, but only because I have to carry him all the time!!

Today, DJ took Nate to the doctor for his first solo visit without mommy. I don't have any sick hours to use because of various things I've had to take off for...mostly Nate or me being sick. Poor Daddy had to experience shots for the first time...but apparently Nate only cried for a few seconds whereas with me he cries for 15 mins!! After the appt, DJ took Nate to Sherry's house (our babysitter) and he slept for about an hour. Sherry said he was kind of cranky when he woke up, but after some tylenol he was fine. All was good until mommy came to pick him up. Oh, he was happy to see me...but little did I know that when I picked him up he had pooped through his clothes and that wet spot on his outfit was POO! So I got slimed yet again. I was reminded of that line from the classic movie, "Joe Dirt" when he yells, "I got the poo on me!!" We had to strip Nate down to his diaper and he rode home in the car seat naked, with only his bib and diaper on. CLASSY!!! :) And mommy? She had to suffer with the poo on her until she got home, unloaded everything, and finally could change clothes! That's just what moms do.

Anyways....that's life in the fast lane. And I should know...I drive about 3 hours a day. Have a great week everyone!
