Ready for Halloween

He's 5 months old! Seems like...longer? Anyway, he had another trip to the pediatrician, and another round of vaccinations. This was a repeat of the PC and Hib shots that he got at three months that made him a little sick, so we are keeping a close eye on him. He seems a little fussy tonight, but he's allowed, considering that he's such a little guy and people keep sticking him with needles. He might have a little fever too.

The stats!
weight: 17 lbs (50-75%)
Length: 27 inches (75-90%)

He's big, but not quite as big as this 19-pound behemoth newborn baby in Indonesia:

Our colleague Anne gave Spud a hand-me-down Halloween costume. So we're all set for his first child-oriented holiday. Unless he outgrows it in the next month. Now, we'll need a Calvin to go with this Hobbes...





Complete with a tail! Sophie was very curious about this new striped feline creature.
