Today was Carson's 6 month check-up and he passed with flying colors!
Length: 27.5 inches (89% for his age)
Weight: 17lbs 3oz (50% for his age)
Head: 17.5 inches (75% for his age)
In conclusion, we have a tall, thin, genius on our hands!
We also had to get some shots, which are never fun. You can see that look in his eyes when we lay him down and some strange lady comes walking up to him. First shot - no crying. A look of panic back and forth from me the the nurse, but no crying. Now, the 2nd and 3rd shots - that's a different story. Poor little guy. If you have children, you know that look. The "holly mother of Mary", stop breathing, turning red, opened mouth, closed eyes and scream at the top of the lungs look. Yup, that's what we got! But, right after we picked up, he calmed right down.
We are so proud of our little guy! I could go on and on but I won't. I will though, predict his future. Here it goes:
Genius child that gets a full ride to any college of his choice. Afterwards, he's drafted into the NBA and makes millions of dollars - therefore, retiring his parents at an early age because they did such an amazing job raising him.
A mom can dream, can't she?!

Nice job Carson!!! Don't shots feel like someone is physically killing the mother? They're horrible! You should have rewarded yourself by getting ice cream afterwards (for you of course, sheesh....it's painful to watch!)
I held them when they were babies, but NEVER watched! I probably would have passed out.
Vanessa was always sick with ear infections. Once when we went to the ENT, I was sitting in the chair holding her in my lap. When the dr walked in she immediately found every inch in her tiny lungs, filled them with air and let out the cry of all cries. The dr swatted her on the leg, she quit instantly. He told her he needed to talk to her mother and if she was going to cry the nurse could take her into the other room. She didn't utter another sound. I was totally shocked that he hit my baby, but it did get the results we needed. It is painful to watch!
