On Monday we transitioned form a great weekend to a less than thrilling day. Micah had his first set of shots first thing in the morning. He really did very well considering he had two shots and had to drink some very unpleasant medicine. Later that afternoon the day got even better when Mom got to go get a root canal. Both Mommy and Baby survived the day with minimal pain and tears. It gives a whole new meaning to having a case of the Mondays.
The rest of the week has been much better! We have just been hanging out, getting chores done, and catching up with friends we haven't seen since we have been gone.
This is Micah pre-shots on Monday. He had no clue what he was in for... He did try to charm all of the nurses at his appointment, but he couldn't get out of getting stuck. They all complimented him on how handsome he was! Then the doctor said he was pretty perfect! We love our healthy little baby. He weighed in at 11 lbs 6 oz and was 23 in long. That put in in the 25% for height and weight. He was in the 50th percentile for head circumference. It is that big ol' brain! In the nurses words though, "he isn't scrawny, just petite!"
One of the things that he has recently learned to do is reach out and grab things. He has been able to grab things put into his hand since birth but now he can purposefully take something in his hand. Then it usually goes straight to the mouth! This week I tried giving him one of his toys and he grabbed it and played with it a little... well if you count chewing on it and waving it around a little playing.
Today we got an extra fun surprise when the mailman brought us a package! My dear friend April sent Micah a special little gift. It was wrapped so beautifully I just had to take a pic! We love the little coordinating outfits! Thanks so much! We have been so blessed with all of our friends and family sending us wonderful gifts!
