shots, stats & a "faux hawk"

We just got home from Barrett's six-month shots a little while ago and now he's sound asleep in his crib. It's so hard to see my baby boy in pain with that 'scared to death' look on his face. But is there anything better than being a MOM, and able to comfort them with your touch and soft words? I couldn't wait for that moment when the nurse put the last band-aid on and I knew I could pick him up, put him on my shoulder, kiss his sweet head and tell him we were all done and it was going to be okay. We were in the office for over an hour this time, and he was a little trooper as always.
Here are his six month stats:
Height-26"
Weight-16 lbs, 10 oz
Head-17.5 inches

And here are some (okay, several) pictures from an impromptu photo shoot we had this morning, before he was traumatized from the shots! We gave him a "faux hawk" while Daddy was home for lunch, and he was in such a good mood, I couldn't resist capturing it on camera. What a little man...he's such a crack up!

    Emily was ALWAYS trying to put Barrett's hair in a mohawk so she is very impressed with these pictures.
