We went to the Dr. on Saturday.  Can I just say how much I LOVE Nicky's doctor?  Love her.  I feel like we could just go have a beer and hang out.  Plus I think she likes that we are easy going. For example she started to go into a winded lecture about the benefits of the shots Nicky was about to get when I stopped her and said, "You don't have to convince us, we are pro vaccine, shoot em in."  Then Nick added, "Yeah, we aren't Jenny McCarthy."  To wish she sighed and said, "Ok good!"Granted we live in a town where I imagine there are many parents that are concerned about the "effects" of vaccines and she has to convince them to get them.

Stats:
Length: 23 1/2 inches (still 75th percentile)
Weight: 10 pounds 9 ounces (10-25th percentile)

So we have a tall skinny man.  No wonder his 3 month clothes are still big-ish, but he fills them to the limit length-wise. Look out Uncle Jeff, you have competition!

We asked the doc about his gas issue.  He screams in pain pretty much all the time from gas.  She switched us to a different formula.  Hopefully if he tolerates this formula better, he will put on some more weight.  It is day 2 of the new formula and I already see a difference.  He is drinking it much better and consistently taking 4oz. instead of 3 here, 4 there, 2 1/2 here.  He isn't arching his back or stopping after a few sips to scream.  The only downfall, this formula is $24 a can!  gulp......whatever works.

Nicky also got 4 shots, and a liquid vaccine.  He took them like a champ (although I think daddy almost fainted).  She went to give him the liquid and did all this prep for him possibly spitting it out and not swallowing.  Evidently she has a lot of trouble getting little ones to take it.  Not our boy.  He sucked it down and then licked his lips for more.  Next time we should have her give that after the shots so it can be his reward!

Now my sweet shopping deals:  I have taken an interest in coupons.  I want to be on that extreme couponing show.  I'm starting out slow but get super excited about the deals I get.  Everyone needs a hobby right?
