Pediatric appointment....

Yeah! We took Joel to see Dr. Foldvary this morning for his second round of baby shots. He weighs 15 pounds, 5 ounces and is 24 3/4 inches long! He is in the 50th percentile for babies his age....they don't even track him on the preemie scale anymore! Dr. Foldvary said that he has "great" growth and "great" development. He even said, "Boy, he sure doesn't look like a preemie anymore, does he?" (Mom is trying not to be offended by that....he's not fat, I know!:0) ) We get to switch him to regular formula starting next week (to give him time to get over any side effects from the shots) and get to start him on vegetables then too. He's growing up too fast for me! Dr. Foldvary is great and answers all of our questions, no matter how dumb we think they are! Daddy took Joel into the injection room for his shots. Mommy stood outside, and when I heard the first scream I think I felt worse than he did! He fell asleep almost immediately afterwards with Rob holding him, and seems pretty sleepy this morning yet. Poor baby! We have to get ready for our trip to Cincinnati tonight. Maybe he'll sleep the whole way...? (Wishful thinking...) We are so proud of him and how well he is doing. We should see him sitting up and pushing off from the floor with his arms soon. It doesn't seem possible!
