11 lbs 6 oz (50th percentile)
22 1/2 inches long (25th percentile)
15 1/8 inches around his head (20th percentile)
He received 3 shots and 1 oral vaccine. Not so fun for him or me (dad was at work). The nurse said he was the best baby ever (for his age) at taking an oral vaccine. Way to go, Little Buddy Man!
Getting The Great Picture
by Chad Jenkins
Good shots like this don't just happen. It takes the right mood of the baby, mood of the parent, availability of the camera, and lots of luck.
Getting a smile is almost impossible. By the time the camera figures itself out, he's done. Sometimes you can still get the end of a smile, but at this point, he's been flashed to the point of blindness, so he's smiling at the constant square of light in his line of vision.
eeeh...not really what we're looking for. Almost looks like he's filling a diaper. Let's try again. I do love the hand position though...
ooh...ok...don't sneeze next time. Although this would've been a spectacular shot if it had snapped a half second earlier.
Got it!
