Riley Bears 4 week appointment


Riley is officially a month old. It's amazing how time flies. I can barely remember what it is like not having this little bear in our home. Lonely I bet! Riley just went to his one month appointment. The results:

11 pounds 9 ounces in the 95%

23.5 inches long in the 90%
15.5 inch noggin in the 75%

All in all we have a big boy! We call him bear because he has a huge chest and eats like its his last meal everymeal time. He's up to 8 ounces now. This kid is going to eat us out of house and home before he hits 10. I thought that was supposed to happen in the teenage years but he's willing to prove that wrong.
Also while at the one month we had a bit of a problem. Riley was going to get his second hep B shot and the MA came in the 8 shots. I kinda freaked a little because I thought he only needed one since that was what the Dr said. I also had read up and it said at his two month he gets all of the regular shots. No sooner. Anyways the MA replied when I questioned her " Nope he needs all these. Your insurance will cover all of them so we're getting all of them.. I was a little taken off guard so I agreed and went on. Riley handled them like a champ. he definetly doesn't get that from me. I still to this day kick and scream!

Anyways about 6 shots in the MA said to me "wow he's handling this good for a two month old." I then replied with extreme panic, " He's only a month!" She then hesitated and let me know he would be fine but had a scared look on her face. After I left the Dr. I called the office again and made the nurse call the Dr. to confirm he would be ok. I really hope she gets in trouble for giving him all of those shots without the Dr.s consent or mine for that matter. He is doing good though thank goodness!

Here are some pics from our photoshot with Celeste Ruth. She is awesome and took so great pics of our little bear.
