More Of An Ohlendorf

Today was Sam's 4 month well-baby check up and other than a slight problem still with cradle-cap, he's healthy (and BIG) as can be.

Height: 25.6 in (75%)
Weight: 16.83 lbs (90%)
Head Circumference: 17.13 in (75%)

Bo was always in the 50% for height and weight, more of a Madden, but Sam appears to be taking on the size of an Ohlendorf. We'll know for sure if his calves start bulging out of his socks, oh wait, they already do. Sorry, Sam.

The doctor seems to think his eyes are going to stay blue. She says you can usually tell by 3 months if they are going to change or not.

He was supposed to get shots today but the doctor was running so far behind that by the time we finally got done, the Immunization clinic was closed. Gotta love socialized health care. Heaven forbid they figure out how to schedule more than one shift of people so they don't have to close down for lunch. But wait, that would make too much sense and nothing makes sense when you're dealing with the Army, now does it?! And as if lugging 2 kids to the hospital wasn't fun enough today, we get to go back again tomorrow. I can't wait.

Sam wasn't big when he was born, though, was he? Trying to remember size. I remember that Bo seemed very tiny to me.

Glad to hear that he is doing well. Our immunization clinic tends to be out of whatever is needed. So, I end up having to come back later for more shots, but they have to be a full month apart. How do they run out of these main shots that kids must have during their first year?

Now just wait a minute. I happen to think those Ohlendorf calves and thighs are perfect. Much more appealing than the skinny Pritchard legs!

CUTE kids! I am glad Sam is healthy!

I keep telling people that all socialized health care isn't bad. My whole family was in a bad car accident in Australia and it was AWESOME health care (and FREE!) So, it CAN be done right. But the Army definitely doesn't do it right!
