Charlie Beta's One Month Stats

Charlie V2.0 had his one month checkup today. The pediatrician said he's a very healthy baby. He weighed in at 8 lbs 15 oz (25th percentile), measured 21 1/4 inches (50th percentile), and his head was 15 inches around (50th percentile). He's a very average baby.

He also had to get a shot today. He screamed and cried and turned the brightest shade of red I've ever seen! Poor baby! It really is just as hard on the parental units as it is on them. Totally broke my heart!



We're going to be following a slightly modified vaccine schedule from here on out, spacing them out over longer time periods instead of doing a whole bunch at once. On the one hand I'm glad we're doing it this way, but on the other hand I feel bad that he's going to have to go and get stuck on multiple occasions. Too bad they don't give the parents lollipops.

  1. I agree. They need to give parent lollipops for being such good sports. Shots are really hard..

  2. I'm on the same wave link, however I think they too should give the parents shots...only of tequila, or another alcohol of choice to ease the pain;-)
