Six Month Check-Up

Justin went to visit Dr. Tomek yesterday. Once again, he is just about off the charts. He weighs in at 22 pounds (97th percentile) and is 29.5 inches long (over the 97th percentile). Justin was very good for the doctor...except when Dr. Tomek went to look into J-Man's ears. Justin wanted to play with the "toy" with the fun light on the end and kept on turning to look at it. He got a little upset that this man with the million dollar toy wouldn't let him play.
Once Dr. Tomek left the room, the lady with the pokey sticks came in. Three pokey sticks to be exact. J-Man endured three shots into his thighs, cried for less than a minute, and then proceeded to tell us how much he hates that Pokey Lady through low, long whiney grumbles. Then, all was well.
My niece, Hadyn, gets her very first horseback riding lesson today. She is very excited! I promised to let the girls ride on their own once they turned eight and Hadyn's 8th birthday was last Friday. She didn't waste any time taking me up on my offer. Hannah will ride, too, but I will lead her around. No solo ride for her for two more years.
We are headed down to the lake this evening for the 3rd of July festivities. Hopefully, the rain scoots out of here fast and we can enjoy the company, the lake, and the fireworks. Happy 4th of July, everyone!!
