Doctor's Visit

Today Leo went to the pediatrician for his 4 month well-child visit. Except, he really wasn't well because he has this cold, which is now turning into a hacking cough. At least, he can still give his famous Leo smile. I'll start worrying when the smile disappears. I took this picture of Leo and Daddy after the doctor saw him and declared him a fat healthy baby (Leo, not Daddy). Leo is 12 pounds, 14 ounces and 24.5 inches long. He gained over 4 pounds since the last visit (2 months ago) and grew 1.5 inches. I also took this picture before the needles came in. 3 shots. 2 in one leg and 1 in the other. He wasn't so happy at that point. But now we're back at home and Leo is sleeping it off. We won't have to do this for another two months.

Ah, little Leo, you greet the world with gusto and brio! And charm! You look a little like you know where the nurse went, and why she went there, but you are so happy to be next to your daddy! You must expectorate, dear Leo - but coughing that crud out would be just fine, too. I love you, Leo. (You, too, Gareth, and you, too, Deepa). Grandpa

Sweet Leo, you look happy to be in daddy's arms. Even when you are sick that sweet smile is there. You are a very brave baby. Hope you feel better soon . Hope the shot doctor gave you is not hurting a lot. Sending my sweet kisses to make you feel better. Love you Loe Baby...
