Today, we had our 9 month well-baby check-up. For once, the visit was uneventful - a reprieve from the usual baby torture immunizations. The baby measures well into the 75th percentile for height, but only in the mid-thirties for weight. I wonder who he’ll take after in that respect?

The days of well baby check-ups....ah yes, the memories that haunt me the most. What I remember is pulling into the parking lot and opening the back car door only to play a game of "Catch Me If You Can" with the toddler who went from side-to-side in the car in a feverish attempt to escape the clutches of a mother who was sure to take her to the toture chamber for the state required proding and poking. Who ever said shots should be mandatory should be "shot" themself.
Love,
Mom
