Rowan is a long, cool drink of water with a very large head. People always comment that he's chunky, but he really isn't your standard roly-poly babe. He does have some serious CHEEKS (they don't include these in the head circumference measurement), which I guess give the impression of roundness.
Rowan was all smiles for the doctor. He rolled over for her, followed her hand with his eyes, attempted to eat her bracelet. He sat up on the scale unassisted and gripped the edges of the bucket seat. He received the DPT/Hib/IPV shot vaccine (aka Pentacel), which is the one that gave him a fever last time, so I dosed him with some preventative ibuprofen and he seems fine. Phew. The smiles ceased once he got the shot, but he looked more perplexed than upset and there were no tears. Again, phew. I gave him my knuckle to suck on while the doctor did her thing, and she banged on the wall afterward to distract him from his displeasure.
A well visit well done. As the doctor said, "He is awesome."
