Well wouldn't you know it? Jack was only crawling for one day before we already had an injury. Thursday he was crawling around and pulled this bowl on the fireplace over and on to his finger leaving a little cut. Of course I cried longer than he did. I was sitting within 3 feet of him when he did it. I thought the bowl was too heavy for him to pull over. Lesson learned for me...do not underestimate this child.
So on Friday we had to go see the pediatrician. No, not for his finger but for his 6 month check-up and shots. She was so impressed to see him crawling and the other things he does. Her words were, "this child thinks he's nine months old!". She also noticed the cut finger so she gave me some antibiotic ointment that "kills anything, because you are going to need it". She said she didn't think this would be Jack's last injury. I agree. I told you he's a wild man. Then Jack had to get his 3 shots. He did so good. He had a temporary loss of control and then it was all better when I picked him up and he had a bottle.
After that we went to Fort Payne for the weekend. It was a pretty rough night for Jack. His shots made him so sore and fussy. We were up most of the night. We stayed at Nana and Pop's. On Saturday Jack went to see Grandma and Grandpa for the night and came home on Sunday. The good news is no shots at the nine month check-up. On Monday we went to lunch with Aunt Angie and my friend January who came to town for a visit. She couldn't believe how much Jack had grown since she saw him last. She said he looks like "a little man".
