James 1 Week Doctor's Appointment

On Monday, we took both James and Maddie to the doctors. James had his 1 week appointment and we brought Maddie in to get her flu shot.

This was the first time in the car with both kids and Maddie LOVED having James sit next to her in the car!

James checked out perfectly!

Stats:
Weight: 8 lbs 6.5 ounces, about the 85th percentile. He was down only 0.5 ounces from birth weight already! I wasn't sure if he was getting enough milk, but he definitely has been!
Length: 21.0 inches long, 85th percentile
Head circumference: 37 centimeters, also 85th percentile

Maddie knew ahead of time she was going to get a shot. We told her it might hurt and might tickle a little bit, but that she would get a cool bandage afterwards and also a special treat!  Joseph sat with her and helped hold her leg down a bit as the nurse got the shot ready. He tried to distract Maddie by having her look anywhere but at the needle, but she looked right at it as it went into her leg! She just said a little "ow" but then was perfectly fine!  She got a surprise blue lollipop as a treat for taking her shot like a champ! We dropped her off at daycare after the appointment and she proudly told everyone she got a shot (almost dropped her pants to show them her bandage) and stuck out her tongue to show everyone her blue tongue and said "aaaahhhh!" All the other kids then stuck out their tongues and said "aaahhhh!"
