I wish my little man still looked as happy as he did this morning in this picture, but unfortunately Ryder isn't liking his shots too much. He took the actual shots like a champ only crying for a few seconds after each one and calming back down right away. He got eight vaccinations today. One that he had to drink, which he nurse seemed very impressed that he drank it right down without gagging or puking it back up. Then he got two injections into one leg and another injection into his other leg which had a total of five vaccinations in the one. It all seemed a little harsh to me, but I guess they know what they're doing. Ryder had his first dose of infant tylonel right after and slept for quite a while. He has been awake a little bit now and is a little sadder then usual, but we'll give him lots of lovin' tonight and hopefully he feels better soon.Now for the stats! We have a BIG boy on our hands! Ryder weighed in at 13 pounds 8 ounces which puts him in the 90th percentile for his age!!! He was also 23 1/2 inches long which puts him in the 75th percentile for his age. Looks like we figured out why our two month old baby is growing right out of his three month clothes.
Ryder's next appointment isn't until he's four months old.... safe from the shots for a while now!
