Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

No, No...Dr. Rose!!

When my Sister-In-Law tells her little girl that they are going to see Dr. Rose (our Pediatrician)she points her finger and says-"No, No...Dr. Rose!" She remembers the shots and the not so fun things that happen at the doctor when she was sick. Well, I am pretty sure if Makena could talk today she would be saying "No, No...Dr. Rose!" We had her 4 month check up today and had to get another batch of shots. Makena started out the appointment smiling and giggling as she tried to grab at the fish that are painted on the walls but it didn't end like that. As soon as the nurse gave her the shot her binki shot out of her mouth and she screamed louder than I have ever heard her and her face turned so red it was almost purple...luckily the scream didn't last long but she did look up at me with sad little eyes after, it broke my heart. Overall she was a brave girl and was back to smiling and gooing very quickly, she is such a happy little person! She weighed in at 14 lbs and 5 oz and is 25 inches long. So she is still pretty tall for her age. I am happy that she is healthy and developing as she should be and I am especially happy and feel super lucky that she has such a happy, content personality most of the time, she is a joy. I still can't believe that she will be 5 months old next week...time has gone so fast since she came into our life. I love her so much and feel so blessed to have this special little person as my side kick each day.

Look how well she is holding her head up! Do you go to Dr. Patrick Rose at Ogden Regional? If so, I loved him--he was so good at answering questions and took his time!! I loved my bday gift--thanks chica!

Awww, getting shots is the worst! Jack loves the doctor's office because there is a big fish tank in the lobby, until we get back to the little room...then he knows exactly what's coming! Makena is adorable, glad she is healthy and happy!
