Monday (10/12) was Wyatt's 6 month appointment and man did we have a busy day! We started off the day having Wyatt's 6 month pictures taken with Melanie - I will post either a link when they are ready or I will post a few for your viewing pleasure. They are super cute by the way! Wyatt was a trooper and smiled big the entire time - he was a bit on the tired side and then of course got hungry but thankfully Melanie has a puppy dog that Wyatt smiled at most of the time and put him in a good mood. I also sang the Cookie Monster song about 100 times - thanks to my Aunt Mel, the Cookie Monster song is his favorite and always produces the biggest of smiles : ) After pictures, Wyatt hung out with his Nana while Jacob and I went to lunch by ourselves - which was wonderful yet a bit weird not to have Wyatt with us. Then back to pick up Wyatt for his big doctor's appointment. Wyatt passed out on the way to the doctor's office - the only nap he took all day long - remember.....Wyatt is a firm believer in naps being overrated! Anyway, doctor's appointment went pretty smooth - did his weight and height, saw the doctor and got all checked out. The doctor said he is one healthy little boy! Then the nurse came in to give him FOUR shots and I excused myself to the hallway - daddy was on shot duty that day! I could hear the little guy crying in the hallway but Jacob got him dressed really fast and then we were out the door and headed to the car. As soon as we got to the elevator he was finished crying and just cuddled in on my shoulder. I rode in the backseat with him and we smiled all the way home. The plan was to get home and feed him and then let him take a big fat nap the rest of the afternoon so mommy and daddy could nap...............but Wyatt wasn't on board with that plan! Instead he ate and then wanted to play - so we played! However, Wyatt thankfully was ready for his bath early and then was ready for bed at a much earlier time than normal - then he slept until 7:00 am when I had to wake him up to take him to the babysitters!
So, for Wyatt's 6 month stats:
weight.........17 lbs, 11 oz (53rd percentile) - skinny boy!
height..........27.75 inches (90th percentile) - long and lean boy!
head circumference.......I don't remember what the measurement was but he is in the 90th percentile..............smart long and lean boy!!!!
Here are some pictures of Wyatt right before the nurse came in to give him his shots..........he has no idea what's in store for him! But he sure was happy and content playing with the paper on the table : )
