Looking Good


We had our first pediatrician visit today and everything looks real good. He is literally off the charts for length and 95% percentile for weight and head circumference. We tried to do his blood tests, but they had a hard time finding his vein in his chubby little arm. So, we'll have to go to a blood lab this week. We got a lot of our questions answered and overall the pediatrician thought he was doing great. Gabe was such a good boy the whole visit. He's very curious and was checking everything out and charmed all the nurses and waiting families in the meantime.
Sorry this is the only pic, but when a guy is active, curious and concentrating on 'cruising' he doesn't have time for a photo session, apparently.

Good for Gabe! What a healthy boy! I think it's so funny that it's hard to get photos of him because he's always on the move. You can tell from the one you did get that it was merely a pause in between some cruising action. :)

Great news on the doctor's visit! It's so reassuring to hear a dr tell you your child is well. :)

I love the photo!

Isn't so nice to have that first visit under your belt?! I felt such a sense of relief after it.

What a big guy you have! And 100% cute!

(And my pics are still blurry... I say it adds to the charm!)

Glad to hear the doctor visit went so well; it's reassuring to hear the Dr say he is doing so well. And is he walking or crawling constantly? Either way-you're on the move!

Kristen said...

Joanna, it's so weird to see Gabe in your family room. Your house was totally "pre-Gabe", and now it's full of Gabe!!! Can't wait to meet him, whenever that is.

Jill said...

It's great to hear that he had a good checkup. He sure is a cutie!!!!

Glad to hear how healthy he is! And he's still so darn cute! :)
Hey... if you get a chance, would you mind answering a random adoption question... kinda personal, so you can totally say No.
But we're in a state (TN) that only approves special needs adoption through Korea. So we're wondering if by chance you guys had an approval list of special needs for Gabe? Or if he was just a perfectly healthy baby from day one? Sooo freaking nosey, I know. I'm sorry! Not wanting to invade his privacy but just wondering with him being so healthy now if he has always been that way or if maybe "specal needs" didn't mean anything after all.. Thanks, girl! Sorry if this is weird.
