Cooper's Five Year Check Up

On Friday, August 6, Cooper had his 5 year old check up. Going into the appointment, he told me that he was going to be brave. He answered all of the questions for the doctor with little prompting from me. He weighed in at 38 pounds (25th percentile) and is 43 inches tall (75th for height). Dr. Gerlach basically confirmed that he is going to be tall and thin! Then it came time for the shots...it took all that I had in me to hold him down for two shots. The first one scratched him and left him a two inch mark on his upper thigh. But that wasn't the worst of it. On Saturday morning, he woke up with a swollen thigh. It looked like there was a baseball inside his leg, a reaction from the shots! It was very sore for him to walk on and he did little walking and lots of veggin' out!
