This picture has been Timmy's day in a nutshell. Today was Doctor Day! For the most part, it was good news all around. Timmy's at the 50th percentile for his weight (19lbs, 8oz), just a hair over 50 pct for his length, and his head size in the last 2 months has moved from the 90th pctl to the 75th. (In other words, his body is catching up with his head).
The Doctor didn't seem overly concerned about Timmy's lack of speech yet. I guess if he still hasn't said anything by 12 months, then she'd be concerned.
Also at the doctor's office, Timmy got 2 more shots. As usual when we have a morning appointment, Timmy nodded off to sleep on my shoulder as the doctor was talking to us, and then the shots in the thighs woke him up. What a wake-up call! He recovered pretty quickly, though, and fell asleep again. Unfortunately for him (and me) today, he needed to get some blood drawn as well! This one, though, I woke him up for before the lab doctor could stick him. Let me tell you, he wasn't too happy being held down with a needle in his arm.
After the whole doctor ordeal, Timmy's been a real grouch. At least, until we took a walk. Now he's lying on the ground playing with the blanket.
