a "long skinny little boy"

Nate had his 6 week check up today. Yep, he's 6 weeks old already. The doc walked in the room and said..."you've got a tall skinny little boy!"
9 pounds, 14 ounces
23.25" long
Which means he has gained 2 lbs. 12 ounces and has grown 3.25" since we left the hospital! I could tell he was growing b/c a lot of his pant outfits are too short. He'll just have to have floods like his mom does sometimes! :)
He also got his first 3 shots today...hence the bandaids in the picture. It was so sad to see him happily sitting there with the binky in his mouth to instantly watch his face just shriek in pain. So NOT fun. Glad round one of shots are over....only a bunch more to go!
We had a great weekend with Nate's blessing ~ pictures to follow soon!

I see one tiny little role there- oh wait, that's just the diaper pressing on his leg =) Did you cry during his shots? A lot of moms do!

The shots are definitely terrible...it never gets any easier! However, now Bayley asks for shots when she goes to the doctor, so I guess it does get a little easier. But it is still hard to watch a baby get their shots! Can't wait to see the blessing pictures!

Hallie had that same problem... when her pants would finally fit around her belly, they were too short. As for the shots, I can't look! It's too sad!

I hated seeing the bandaids! What a special boy! I have tears in my eyes thinking of his sweet trusting face experiencing pain!!! You are a fabulous mom and you are doing such a great job with him! Hope all goes well with the pain! Thanks for sharing with us!
