First Tears

Today Bronson cried tears for the first time... they were unfortunately not joyful tears, and they just broke my heart.

We went to the Pediatrician.

And he got 2 immunizations.

One in each leg, now covered with character band aids; scooby-doo on the left and tweety bird on the right. The immunizations made him screech a new type of screech - I guess it's the screech of pain. The really bad part of the visit was the check up however, that's the part during which he cried unconsollably and seemed genuinely irate with the doctor checking to make sure his hips were properly aligned.
Dr. Schlundt was amazed at Bronson's strength, he nicknamed him 'Bronson the Bruiser'. I hope that doesn't dictate his future career choices [read: school yard bully, football tackler guy]

Anyhow, the doc was great, and the new stats are in:

Weight 13lbs 3oz
Length 23 1/2 inches
Head 40 3/4 cm

He's in the 80th percentile for his height, 95th percentile for his weight and 92nd percentile for his head circumference... which basically means, he's big for his age.

Anyhow, poor Bronson has been upset all afternoon as he's still tender about the needles, and everytime I change him on the table he wails because he's afraid that I'll give him another shot. He has no problem with Matthew changing him, though, so I plan to milk this :)
