giving in




today kainoa had his 6 month check up (kinda late, but better late than never:) poor baby had 4 shots. i am trying to get him off thumb sucking, slowly. i just gently pull out his hand whenever he goes for it. it's kind of hard, especially at night, but i just don't want him to be 4 and still sucking his thumb.
but of course today, i gave in. he cried really hard for a few seconds when he got his shots. the rest of the day he was whiny and cranky. for those of you who have been around kainoa, he's just not that kind of baby. so, when we went for his thumb, i just sat back and let him suck away. i gave him some motrin to relieve the pain, but nothing soothes him like his good ol' thumb.
ah, there's always next week to try again ;)


**side notes: kainoa weighs 16.5 lbs is 27 inches. dr. chen says he's kind of under weight, but really long. tall and thin? why not.
