Tanners Appointment

We finally got Tanner in to see the doctor for his checkup. (I was a bad mom and didn't take him in since his 6-9 month appointment) Anyways we took him in to the Health Center as they are able to do it cheaper if not free and right now that is perfect for us. I was so happy to hear that he is doing great and he checked out wonderfully!!! He now weights 22lbs 12ozs and is 32 1/4 inches long with a head of 19 inches!!!! He is such a trooper, they had to give him 4 shots to get him caught up to where he should be for his age and they also gave him an anemia test as well. He did so good for that test and didn't even shed a tear even though they had to prick his finger (I think he found it fascinating actually). Then came the shots and oh boy did the tears fall. But over all he did a great job and didn't cry for very long afterwards and was just fine when we went and found Kena and dad in the waiting room. Funny story about Makena, she did fine while in the room with us as the doc was doing her stuff well she left to get the shots ready and that set off makena. When she got back all Makena would say is "shots are scary" "I don't like shots" and so on. Well TJ took her back to the waiting room and she was much better after that. Silly girl!!!! We do have to go back in 6 months to get the next hep A (i think its that one).

Glad he did so well. I hate taking my kiddos for shots. Josie is due for her next set in a few weeks. :(
