He got Cooper dressed and headed out the door. Coop apparently was very stressed about the shots and fell asleep on the way.
Then it happened. He blew out the diaper in the waiting room. We've both kind of forgotten how bad these diapers can be since he usually does it at daycare so when we get a good poop-splosion we're both a little shocked. This one came out of the diaper and on to the clothes. Fortunately Jason had an extra set of pjs in his diaper bag so Coop went to school in pjs for the first time. Hey - at least he was comfy!!
On a side note, I'm going to talk about diapers. I refused to stockpile before we came home not knowing if we'd be Huggies or Pampers lovers. The usual rule of thumb is Huggies for boys and Pampers for girls, but Jett was a Pampers baby. Then when I started asking around there really seems to be no rhyme or reason. The hospital started us off with Pampers. We really seemed to have no issues with them so I came home thinking we might be a Pampers house. Wrong. I don't know if they changed that sucker every 45 minutes or what because the next day he started peeing out of every freaking diaper until we switched to the Huggies. I even tried going back to Pampers a few months later, but was never really happy.
Well, recently I had an opened package of Pampers size 2 that I decided to use just because we had them. I was pleasantly surprised. Those suckers hold gallons of pee! I started to think we'd make the switch to being a "whatever brand is cheapest" household. Until I found the fault in the Pampers. Poop. It just won't stay in. The few times he's let it loose while wearing the Pampers it's ended up with us changing his clothes. Guess we're back to the tried and true Huggies.
Ok, so back to the doctor. Overall Cooper looks great! Growing, obviously. Dr. K said we could start solids whenever we're ready but we should stick with either all fruits or all veggies for a while when we do. And he suggested getting a cookbook to follow. ((fine by me, I love any reason to buy another cookbook)) He really feels like Coop does have a cold and we don't need to worry about allergies yet, however they could always show up a year or two down the road. And we were told to get some sunblock before we take him outside for an extended period of time. Apparently a little kiddo was in just a few days earlier with a bad sunburn! The parents had been under a canopy but the sun reflected off of the pool and...well, poor baby. I am going to hunt for some good sunblock for Coop since I plan on hanging around by my mom's pool as much as possible this summer.
