FIRST DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT

We took Abel to the Doctor today. He was absolutely WONDERFUL! The Doctor and the Nurses all came out to see him. They were saying what a pretty baby he is and how smooth his skin is. It is like silk. SO SWEET! It's all those "spa treatments" he got at Hannah's Hope. They are so good to the babies (and children) there. I will forever be grateful to All God's Children, Hannah's Hope, Almaz, the Special Mothers... all of those who take EXCELLENT CARE of these children!

Abel weighs 14 lbs (even though that scale looks like it's 13-something).

He is 24 inches long.

He is right at average for everything... height, weight and head circumference. But in looks and personality.... ABOVE AVERAGE! (am I a proud momma or what??)

Keeping the baby warm while he waits to for the Doctor.

She said he looks great! Next, we have to go and have test run at Children's Hospital. They have to do all the tests that are normally done when a baby is born. Since Abel didn't have those done, we have to do them all. So, we are going to do that next week. Back to the Dr. in 6 weeks for more shots. Poor guy. He got 3 shots today and he cried so hard. I held him and he immediately calmed down and just let me love on him. I was heart broken hearing him cry over the shots.

This shirt says "Hi, I'm new here."... how cute is that? Thank you to Kay Lusby and her mom for this cute onesie. I actually saw it at Target and wanted it... so I was excited to get it from you guys.

Do you see his mohawk?

Thanks to Aunt Charli who kept Avery, Aidan and Addie. They were so concerned about their baby brother getting shots. Addie sent a stuffed puppy dog for Abel. They all were giving their love to him when we were done. What sweet siblings...

Here is a picture I took of the 4 of them today.
