Off for his 6 month appt

At Sammy's 6 month appt he weighed 13lbs 6 oz.... He did gain 3 inches in length! He better get busy putting on some weight or his girl cousins will catch him soon! To put this in perspective,at Zack's 6 month he was 16 lbs and he was on the scrawny side!
Even with his weight or lack of it, the doctor seemed satisfied that all was well. He is crawling and sitting on his own, very alert and attentive, interested in toys and engaged to others, he is eating solids and is sleeping very well. All around a very pleasant baby.
His immunizations were a little bit drawn out b/c the tech wanted to take his temp before the shots since he seemed a little warm (he had been crying since it had been two hours since he woke & not in the mood for all these other people). As she was finishing the temp, he kicked the shots that were closed up onto the floor, she redrew the shots and as she went to give him the second shot she acidentally closed the safety cover and had to redrawl the DTAP a third time!! She couldn't believe how much a fighter Sammy was! He was completly happy as soon as I held him. My sweet Sammy boy!

Tim made the observation today that we tend to hold Sammy a lot. I guess he hasn’t gotten too heavy yet! He is such a cuddler and loves to be held, he doesn’t squirm to be set free to explore. I know that will change all too soon so I'm enjoying the extra cuddle time!(most of the time)
