Shots =(

My kids are amazing!!

They both had to get shots this morning and Madison was the first to go! Poor kid - she didn't even see it coming. At her 8 yr-old well child check-up she was given the first of two Hep A vaccines and today was the 2nd shot. The last time I told her she was going to get a shot at the doctor she FREAKED OUT so this time I was a little bit sneaky (I'm allowed) and I didn't tell her until we were in the car...on our way there!! She flipped a little (understandable) but when it came shot time she let out a yelp, a few tears fell and that was the end of it! WHAT A KID! I'm so proud of her for being SO brave!

Then we have Garrett baby - time for his six month well child check-up and he is doing great!! He weighs 20 pounds 12 oz and is 29-3/4 inches tall!! His chunky monkey legs were given three shots and he had to swallow another (and it smelled GROSS)! We sang twinkle twinkle little star while the nurse was giving out the shots and he only cried for a minute - I was amazed to leave the room with two pretty calm kids!! We're in mostly 12 & 18 month clothing and still rocking the size 3 diaper!! He is a MONSTER!!! We've just started some solid foods and so far Sweet Potatoes and Bananas are a hit!

My kids are happy & healthy, my husband is the best - LIFE IS GOOD!!!!!
