6 Month Well-Check

Caleb had his six month well check on Wednesday and weighed in at 17 lbs 4 ounces (50th %ile). He is 28 inches long (90th %ile) and definitely does not like the doctor. It may have something to do with the shots each time he goes, but this time she smiled at him when she came in the room and he let out a whimper and then screamed the whole way through the exam. I think stranger anxiety is settling in. It was so sad because each time he cries for his exam, though not usually as loudly as this last time, and when the doctor asks questions such as, "Does he giggle and babble?" I just say, "Yes, I promise he does a lot usually" and feel this pressure to prove it because he only cries around her. I was told next appointment will involve no shots so maybe there will be less tears then, but stranger anxiety will probably be stronger so she may never believe that he really is a happy baby. Caleb also started sitting up this week. He topples over very easily, but he is getting stronger. No crawling yet, though Daddy tries very hard to get him to crawl. Mommy is content to wait on crawling.

 Hi Mama

Cute litte face. 

Sonya, for some reason this face reminds me of Ben. Maybe because he smirks like that sometimes?
