6 Months...

We have a very healthy baby boy! Yes, we had our 6 month check up today and passed with flying colors. We came in at a whopping 17lbs 5oz, 28inches long! We are healthy and growing right on target. What more could a parent ask for, right? I have to just take a quick minute to talk about how much we love Creighton's pediatrician. He is so great and has been doing it for 30+ years. I love his approach to everything, he is very old fashioned and keeps things simple. He even gave Creighton a book today! He never makes us feel like we don't know what we are doing as parents. His answer to our most basic questions as first time parents is, what does your son want? He always tells us that we will know our son better than anybody and there is no right or wrong way to do simple things. (i.e. when to introduce him to solids, how often to give him a bath when he was a newborn, etc.) Creighton actually loves his pediatrician so much that he peed on him today! Dr. Pollard quickly told us that Creighton was only the 3rd baby to ever pee on him. 

 

We love our visits to see our pediatrician except when we have to get the usual round of shots. I have been so proud of myself because I have never cried until today, I have to admit I think I cried more than Creighton! I am guessing it won't get any easier as he gets older. I just have to keep reminding myself it is better for him in the long run. 

Even though we had a round of shots, 4 to be exact, we still had a smile on our face. We always leave the doctor warn out and usually sleep for the quick ride back home. Overall it was a good trip and we are excited to see how much he grows over the next couple of months.

Our visit today was extra special because daddy got to get off work a little early and come with us! We love our special times as a family, even if it is just another trip to see Dr. Pollard.
