My baby

We took Elijah in for his four month shots yesterday and he did so well. he is actually 5 1/2 months so we are little behind but i actually prefer that. Poor little guy broke my heart though. When the doctor was checking him out Elijah looked over at me with so much fear on his face as if to say "mommy why are you letting this strange man touch me??" oh gosh. it made me so sad. he even looked over at Dennis at one point with a scared look like "come on dad, come get me"... He definately knows who should be playing with him or touching him... he has never ever looked at us with fear on his face no matter what we do. when i cut his finger nails, or clean his ears, or look in his mouth for teeth he just whines and pushes me away, but never has fear on his face. my poor baby, and he hates being held down to get shots... oh gosh he was so mad, but he stopped crying so much faster than last time. he is doing so well but his thighs are a little sore. this morning i tried to gently massage his thighs and he started crying, last time they didnt hurt him at all. :( 

it's so hard to be a mommy and watch your child go through this... :(

anyways. on a better note he is doing great. the doctor said that he is a healthy, smart, good lookin kid! AND we got to show him off to the doctor and nurse. he was sitting up all by himself on the table!!! course he wobbles back and forth and i have to catch him if he tries to go for something.  the doctor said that usually they are 6 to 7 months before they do that much! we are so proud! i will get pictures up very soon---he is such a big boy! 

here are his stats:

Weight-75 %--17lbs 15oz

Height-90 %--27 inches

Head-17 1/2 inches (not sure what percentile)

He has gotten to be so much happier and so energetic lately. when i come into the room he gets so excited and when i pick him up he jumps and makes a high pitched sound. so funny! he is such a joy to be around...
