In one year you have gained 4 lbs. and grown 3 inches!  Looks like you have stretched out and leaned out a little bit!


This was the big FIVE shot appointment!  Yuck!  We've been talking to Cooper about it for quite sometime so that he wouldn't be surprised during the check up!  The last time he had to get a shot was about 4 months ago for strep.  And it was not pretty.  He kicked and screamed, pulled the nurses hair!  I finally had to lie down on top of  him and we had to call in an extra nurse for back up!  Yes, like I said, it was ugly!  I was expecting him to do the same this time, but I am happy to say that he did awesome!  However, from the moment he woke up that morning, he was a nervous wreck.  He had a hard time eating breakfast and you could just see the anxiety building up.  He did great during the first part of the appointment.  He wrote his name C-o-o-p-e-r (he actually wrote it correctly with only the first letter capitalized)!!  He drew a funny picture of daddy, passed his hearing and vision test, could balance like a flamingo on both feet, walked on the tightrope, identified the letters and their sounds, and then.....he thought he was finished!!  Not so fast!  We had to wait another couple of minutes for the nurse to come in with the big guns!  As soon as she walked in, Cooper was under the chair!  We only had to ask him once to come out, and he did.  He whimpered a little when Josh put him on the table, but he didn't fight it one bit!  He didn't even wince during the first 2 shots, the 3rd one must've hurt because he screamed bloody murder....but he didn't fight it!  The 4th went smoothly and the 5th had to hurt because there was another blood curdling scream.  Then it was over and we were off to Toy's R Us and then to the lake!!  He did end up with a low grade fever and super sore legs that night and the next morning, but I think being at Nanny and Papa's lake house helped him to heal a little faster!  I've been dreading that appointment for months!  But....he survived!
