Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

Noah weighs 20 lbs. 13 oz. (up from 18 lbs. 6 oz. 3 months ago), is 30.5 inches tall, and the pediatricians office got some great new toys.

Noah’s bib matches the sky outside.

This visit to the doctor wasn’t as fun though.  Mainly because Kate (Mom) was at work so she couldn’t join us, but also because Noah wasn’t into it.  Last time we visited he loved playing with the paper on the table where they weigh him, this time he just wanted out.

Not even the mirror could distract him.

So Noah sat in my lap for the entire examination, which made it tough to take photos, but he did just fine and even managed to get a lollipop out of the whole deal.

Noah, you needed that flu shot.  Don’t be mad…

Let’s go back in time and think about the fun you had before the shot…  Remember?  You liked the new (fake) aquariums that they put in.

And you liked running around playing with all the toys for once.

Seeing the doctor isn’t so bad…

Noah had his one year check up yesterday.  It’s a big visit, if only because this is the visit where they draw blood.  Noah is now 29.5 inches tall, he weighs 18 lb 6 oz, and his head is 17.8 inches.  He’s pretty average for his height, but he is low in weight.

Numbing patches to try and make things a little less painful.

Burgers make everyone feel better.

Noah weighed in at 17 lbs. 5 oz. yesterday and he’s 27.8 inches tall.  The doc said he is eating well and looking great.

Noah weighed in at 15 lbs. 10 oz. on Thursday when we went for his 6 month check up.  He’s 26.8 inches tall and his head is 43.5 cm, and best of all I got my new favorite picture of him.

Ears are all clear.

Next scheduled doctor visit will be in June, when Noah will be 9 months.
