Uh-Oh! I Might Be Following in Aunt Gi’s Footsteps!

The day after Christmas, we went to YiMa and YiGong’s house for dinner again and Mommy was beside herself when she saw YiGong offer me a can of Coke, but she is even more surprised to see that I actually liked the can of Coke and was going through the motion of trying to drink it.

See me in action:

Oh, no!  Mommy hopes I’m not developing an addiction to Coke like Aunt Gi.

Of course, Mommy rationalized that I probably liked the Coke because it was refrigerated and the cooling sensation felt good against my gums.  Also the Coke can is bright red…which also stimulates my eyes.  Yes, Mommy, just keep telling yourself that’s why I like Coke…the colors and the cooling sensation.

My 6-Month Check-Up

I saw Dr. Gita Reddy again today for my 6-month check-up.  As always, she is always very nice to me and somehow she and Mommy always start talking “medical talk” which I don’t understand.

Good news is that I’ve grown…(I know what you’re thinking Aunt Gi, surpise…surprise…).  Mommy and Daddy thought I’d be over 20 pounds, but I’m just a little shy from that estimate.

My weight is 19 pounds, 7 ounces (82% tile).

My height is 27 inches (73% tile).

My head circumference is 18 inches (92% tile).

The head circumference is little on the high side.  I know I have a big head, but I heard Mommy and Dr. Reddy talking about how we need to watch my head size to make sure I don’t have hydrocephalus.  I thought having a big head was a good thing…but I guess not TOO big. 

I had three shots today too and now that my pain receptors are in full working order, the shots hurt like the dickens!  I cried and cried, but as soon as Daddy picked me up and hugged me, I was okay.  I think I’m pretty brave for getting three shots in my thigh.
