Koy finally had his 4 month appointment and right now he weighs in at 14 lbs, 10 oz and is 25.5 inches long. He's in the 50th percentile for weight and 75th for height. He started on cereal last week and he loves it unless he is too tired to eat. Suprising, I know. This kid usually would eat all day if we would let him. He's quite the spitter-upper but it's getting a little bit better. I thought it was because he eats too much but even if he eats for like 30 seconds he spits up. He was a champ at his check up except he started crying when the dr looked at him. Really, his dr. said it was because he felt insecure but Koy freaks out when he sees people he doesn't know. Our friends came over last week and Zach wanted to hold him and Koy stuck out his bottom lip and then started to cry. Oh well. Hopefully, he is ok when we go on our trip next week and he is in places he doesn't know.
He had to have two shots and I was quite happy that they brought in two nurses so that they could each give him a shot at the same time... well, I didn't stay happy for long. They gave him the shots and then the one nurse started to give him the little oral immunization. The first time he had it the nurse said that it usally calms them down but good heck, do they expect the kid to just suck that down right after shots? Koy really is a good baby and he wasn't even crying very hard. She started to give the oral stuff to him and he wasn't just sucking it down like no tomorrow but he wasn't spitting it out. Well, he obviously wasn't swollowing it as fast as the nurse wanted him to and she said to him, "Well just choke on it then." What?! You don't talk to my baby that way! I'm no over protective parent but good heck! He is only 4 months old and you just gave him two shots and now your mad at him because he's crying and he's not sucking down the medicine? I just stared at Koy and then after he finished the medicine, she just walked out of the room, no "see ya in a couple months" or "your all done." She just walked out. I really like our pediatritian but so far only one of the girls that works for him is nice. I'm half tempted to call him and tell him what happened but I don't want to be an annoying mom. On the other hand, I don't want my baby being talked to like that. I worked for a pediatric dentist for 2 years and I NEVER talked to a kid like that. Even when a 15 year old cried during flouride treatment (I know, drama and she seriously needed slapped...) and when a 3 year old bit my finger so hard that it bruised it, I didn't say anything rude to them. I'm still debating on what to do...
On to other matters, Koy has been a little bit off this week. He's not really fussy but he's not as good as usual. We have discovered little white nubbins coming through his bottom gums. Yeah, this kid is getting his first teeth. Yikes. It makes me a little nervous but I guess they have to come in sometime.
The new addition to our family is doing great. Justin smiles like a kid in a candy store when you talk to him about his truck. I was a little worried he would regret selling the Dodge, but he is just in LOVE with his purchase. They are like best buds and they go almost everywhere together. Koy and I went for our first ride in it last week and it really was fun. It is SO loud but it does have some major POWER. (If I'm correct, they put a hot-rod engine in it...) Koy was funny and he didn't really know what to think. He just stared at us with huge eyes at first but maybe he was confused because he could see us too. It's pretty fun to just drive around in and I'm glad Justin is so happy with it. I haven't taken any pictures of it yet, but I'll get some soon.

First off I love the background it's so cute. Tallin was the same way when other people he didn't know would hold him he would always cry. It always took him a while to warm up to people when we would go home to visit or where ever makes it tiring for mommy and daddy when the baby won't go to other people.
And I would say if you feel like you should call the doc and tell him about it then you should. It's a pediatricians office those nurses are suppose to be nice to the kids that would make me so mad!! You worked in a pediatricians office you know how they are suppose to act. Maybe you could get a good explanation why she was acting like that at least that would make you feel better about going back you don't want to hate going there Koy will pick up on it every time you go in and make him nervous too. And you really don't want your kids to be to scared of the doc. Anyways I sounds like you guys are good. Koy is getting so big good luck with the teething!! Miss you guys. Are you guys planning on going to AZ anytime soon?
What a cutie! He's growing up so fast! And my vote is yes, you should call the doctor and tell him what happened. Good luck with the whole teething thing, I hear it's quite the ride!
I can't believe that nurse said that! I would totally say something. But I'm quite the chicken and get flustered when I have to confront people so when something happens like that I like to write letters. I would definately do something though. The doctor needs to know how the nurses are treating the patients.
Good luck with the teething. Kayden wasn't too bad when his bottom teeth came through. We could tell something was off but he wasn't terrible. Now when his top teeth came through...that's a completely different story. It was awful!!! The poor kid was so upset for like 5 days in a row. Anyway, good luck!!
Oh my heck for sad!!! Poor Koy! I totally would have been angry at that nurse! I wish you would have said something to her like "how bout I make you choke it down lady!" Ha, I'm sorry but I'm glad he is done... You are the greatest story teller ever! Come see me sometime!
Hey Sherrie,
I saw your blog on Meggie's and wanted a peek at that little guy since last I saw him was at Brooke's baby shower. What a little cutie he has turned out to be!! I think he looks so much like Justin but a little like Brady. Its funny how people see different things. One thing is for sure he is an absolute doll!! I am so glad you guys are doing so well with him.
Just my 2 cents on the Dr. thing, I actually had to do this exact thing last week with my pediatrician. It turned out so good and she was so glad that I took the time and had the guts to tell her my issues rather than just not go back or not be happy with her practice. She had no idea what was going on and thanked me several times. Just tell him, he won't think you are some over protective mom, that was wrong of her to do even if she is having a bad day. She is getting paid by "you" the Dr.'s patients. Just my opinion.
Take care!
Oh my goodness! I can't believe that the nurse did that. I would've been furious, but I am a very over protective mom and I'm sure I would've said something right there, but I would definitely call your doctor, and just tell them that you are not happy with how you and your son were treated. Who is your doctor? Whenever I take Avery they always give her the oral first. That is so ridiculous.
Thanks for the info about the teeth. That is really good to know. I kinda like her little gap for now too!
i just tried to post a comment and somehow deleted it :) anyway, that makes me very sad that anyone would talk to a baby like that (especially yours!) I would say something to the dr because that lady shouldn't be working in that field if that's how she treats the most precious people on the earth! good thing koy is a tough boy!
