Eight Week Check-Up

Friday Kirk and I took McCoy to the doctor for his 8 wk check-up and first round of shots. We were so glad that he passed all of their developmental questions and we were dying to hear how much he weighed and how long he was. He weighs 13.2 pds and is 24 inches long!! The doctor said he is in the 95th percentile for both height and weight! He also said that if he keeps this up, he will be 6'2" or taller by the time he is 18!! He's going to be such a big boy!


So that part was fun...but then came the shots. I don't know who it hurt worse, him or his mommy! He cried so hard and I had to hold back the tears. I was dying for the nurses to say I could come over and hold him. Once they did, I was able to calm him down, but it was definitely a traumatic experience for us both! However, he did get some pretty cool Snoopy band-aids for his pain...

Still a happy boy!

When we got home, I curled up with him on the couch so that we could take a nap together. This is one of my favorite things to do with him. I know all the books say always have your child nap by himself in his crib but I don't care! I love cuddling with him!!
It's been a long time since I posted so I've missed some things...


This past Tuesday my bunco group had our ornament exchange at my house. December is such a busy time that not all the group got to come. Lots were out of town and some were sick, but the 8 of us had a great time. McCoy came home at the end to meet the girls he hadn't yet. He was definitely a hit!

And on December 5, we went with Kirk's family to eat dinner to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday. We had lots of fun!
