Last Monday 3/23/09, Thomas celebrated his 6-month birthday while we were on the road. Today we went to the doctor for his 6-month check-up. Everything looks really good. The doctor said we are making it look easy because we have a happy, healthy, little boy. He is still on the 75th percentile for height, measuring in at 27 inches. And is also following his curve of the 35-45th percentile for weight at 17 pounds 15 ounces!!! My God! I can't believe my baby boy is 17 pounds already, not to mention 6 months old! It has gone so quickly.
Thomas also had a blast - before the shots - tearing all the paper off of the roll at the end of the table. Dr. Smith said it was ok though - "Have at it boy, we don't charge by the sheet". :-)
Daddy stood by during the shots this time, which went a lot better. There were a lot less tears for Thomas and no tears for Mommy although she still doesn't like going in for shots for her baby and her heart breaks when she hears that big cry. After a long nap this afternoon, Thomas is feeling much better and hopefully won't have too much pain in his little legs following this round.
We hope everyone is doing well!

It sounds like everything went wonderfully. :-) He looks very happy in those pictures. Amara has her nine month checkup at the end of the month because the doctor had to reschedule. It is hard to believe they both are so big.
It will be interesting to see how much Amara weighs versus Thomas. She seemed lighter to me than Thomas, but it might be because she's moving around so much. They're both so very cute and I can't believe they are getting so big either!!
