Bodie had his 6 month well baby exam this week. He was great at the appointment as well as his big brothers that got dragged along. :-) Bodie checks in at 19 lbs. 6 oz. and 29 1/2 inches long. That put him in the 75th percentile for both height and weight. He's right on track with all the other stuff too! :-)
After the appointment we made our way to the dreaded immunization clinic. I loathe this place! This time wasn't the worst though, we only waited about 30 mins and the nurse we had was actually really nice. (not the experiences we've had in the past) After Bodie got his shots, including his flu shot, it was the big boys' turn. They needed their flu shots too. I was so thrilled to hear that they do the mist for 2 year olds and older. This was a huge relief since I had anxiety about it all morning. Jack is fully aware of how shots feel. When we were talking about possibly having to get a shot I asked him if he'd be brave like he was the last time he got a shot and he told me, very matter-a-factly....."NO!!", with a look on his face like, "Mom, you must be smoking something if you think I'm letting them stab me with that dagger of a needle!". Hahahah! Once he made sure there were no needles involved, Jack went first with the nasal mist and did great. And since Ty will do anything Jack does, he did great too! So now everyone's up to date on shots and now we're feeling the after math. On top of the regular side effects of the shots and nasal mist, Ty's cutting his 2 year old molars. He's been pretty bad about eating lately and all day yesterday he was drooling like a bulldog! Hahahah! He has one molar that finally broke through but I'm sure the others aren't far behind.
And for Bodie's 6 month highlights......his favorite thing right now is rolling every where. It's now pointless to put a blanket down for him to lay on. He's 8 ft away from it in 3 seconds. :-) He's also been fake coughing for a few weeks now. It's so funny. He'll cough and then wait for your reaction, then once you notice, he'll cough again and again, and again. He's also starting to rock the Mmmm sound! Since Tom and I are one for one with the kids saying Mom and Dad first, I may come out the winner with Bodie! :-) Of course me trying to get him to say mama all day long is an unfair advantage, but that's neither here nor there! :-) Bodie's also been enjoying some fruits and veggies. His favorite veggie seems to be carrots and for fruit, it's definitely the bananas. Who doesn't love those baby bananas?? Bodie is such a great baby! He's so happy, loves talking and is amazed when watching his brothers and the dogs. They crack him up! He is so much fun and I can't wait to see what he does next! :-)
