The doctor said, "I normally ask how he has been eating, but I don't think there is any question about that". Everything looked great developmentally and he cooperated well with the examination.
{Here we are in the waiting room...little did he know what was coming
He got 5...yes, 5 vaccinations today. One was oral and the other 4 were injected. Fortunately 2 were combined so it was 3 injections instead of 4. It was still rough for us both though. The nurse gave him the first shot and said "He didn't even cry!" without looking up. Little did she know, he was quiet because he had taken in a giant gasp in shock and horror and then let out a blood curdling scream. Mommy felt like doing the same exact thing. He recovered quickly from the trauma, but I am still picturing that look of sheer panic on his face when he realized what had just happened :(. I know it is best in the end. There have been some pretty tragic cases of pertussis (whooping cough) in the news, and we do not want to take any chances!
Since we have been traveling the southeast on the interview trail, I have gotten a little behind on updating. Here are all of the pictures from the meantime. We missed the seven week picture because we were out of town.
He has been such a trooper with all of this traveling and has done really well in the car. He is now a smiling machine and I will have to make a post all about his sweet smiles because we have some great pictures. His first social smile was on November 19, 2010 and he has been really starting to get good at it. Over the past week or so he has begun cooing. It is so much fun to get him to "talk" and he gets so excited to hear his own voice. He has also been on the brink of laughing for the past week. It won't be long until we start to hear some real giggles from this little guy. He has gotten good at holding his head up and looking around. He has also gotten really good at focusing on things and really looking at them. He loves, and I mean LOVES ceiling fans. Sometimes I wonder what I would do without them!
