I knew that he was getting heavy but WOW!!
Mama got a high five from the doctor when she walked in and Peanut did everything he was supposed to for the doctor. It was like he knew he was supposed to show off his new skills to her.
He smiled, made some cooing sounds, and even put his hand in his mouth. The doctor said he looked great and was very happy with his progress thus far.
Unfortunately, Peanut was due for a few vaccinations this visit.
He got an oral one first and then a shot in each thigh.
Ouch. Poor baby.
