One Month Old

Carter got a healthy report from her pediatrician at her one month checkup. She left the doctor's office with a yellow band aid on her leg from a shot (she only cried just a little bit) and a Bugs Bunny band aid on her belly button from where her pediatrician put some silver nitrate to help with the healing. Overall, it was a great checkup!
