Shots

I took Austin to the doctor yesterday for his six month checkup and he weighed in the 90th percentile at 20 lbs. 6 oz (what Rexford weighed at 4 months) and dropped to 50th percentile for his length being 26.5 inches (also what Rexford was at 4 months). He was very good about the whole doctor visit and four shots in his cute little thighs. He smiled at everyone and was a very friendly happy boy. He didn't want to lay down though and the doctor was very impressed that he can sit up by himself so well. He was very brave for his shots, just a little crying and he was fine when I picked him up. While he was lying there getting shots, he lifted his head and body up to look down and see what the nurse was doing. After I picked him up he even gave the nurse big smiles so then she didn't feel so bad. He has been a little quieter, tired, clingy, and warm since the shots but still pretty pleasant. He also happens to have a yucky cold so that is making him a little out of sorts too. He's healthy and doing well and we're happy :)

Austin relaxing at home after his shots. After giving Austin some Tylenol Rexford said that he wanted shots so he could have Tylenol too.

He's a little sleepy and he loves to cuddle with his blanky that Rexford picked out for him



He's feeling a little better now
