6 Month Appointment and Zoo Boise

Today was baby Jesse's 6 month appointment. This appointment was much more pleasant as he only had to get 2 shots and an oral rotavirus vaccine. Our pediatrician was nice and let us bring Grandma Rose and Great Grandma Barnett to the appointment. They got to ask lots of questions.

Jesse smiled a lot at Dr. Rand and he checked his ears and says they look fine but did write a script for ear numbing drops- just in case. He also says we can start giving him a little free water and juice now (but no orange juice).

In terms of measurements he now is 18 lbs 11oz and 27 and 1/4in long. And he has a big head. I don't remember the specifics, but it's a good size noggin. He did really well with his shots and only cried for maybe 15 seconds and immediately went back to playing (and attacking my face- he loves to do that when he is hyper!)

So he is still doing well and no health concerns to report. We are blessed with a healthy and happy kid.

We also went to Zoo Boise with the family today. The baby pretty much slept through it, but Emma was a trooper and looked at EVERYTHING! Jesse woke up near the end and did see the Meercats and a couple monkeys. I took him to the gift shop hoping to get him a stuffed animal or something, and he was very disinterested. My son, such a saver of $$!
