4 month shots!!





Blake turned 4 months on Monday so you know what that means...4 month shots! Mom and I took him to the doctor today. At two months, they had to give him 5 shots and one oral vaccine but now they've combined several of them and he only had to get two shots and one oral vaccine. He weighed in at a "hefty" 12 pounds 6 ounces and was 24 inches long. He was 10th% in weight. I have no idea how this happens because I feed this child and he eats. Maybe he's just genetically lucky and is able to eat without plumping up. The doctor said there are just some babies that are going to be skinny. Guess he gets that from Brent's side! He was 39th% in length and 50% with his head. The doctor said he is doing fine and that he is following his growing curve perfectly. He sucked down the oral vaccine within about 15 seconds and was happy go lucky. The nurse stuck his one leg quickly and he got that "what the heck" look on his face then let it go. She got the other leg quickly and it was done. After I picked him up he quit crying but just whimpered for a few minutes. Shortly after he was smiling and we were good people again. Hopefully we can stay well until our 6 month shots in December!
