Ethan's first shots

Poor little Ethan had his first shots today. He was such a trooper and did very well for the first two, but the 3rd & 4th shots he looked at me with his sad little face and got his pouty lip going and let out a cry. I felt so bad for him, he didn't even know what was coming. But when he was all done I picked him up and he was good after that. Shots are so hard to do, I don't look forward to them at all. As a mom you wish you could take away all the pains they feel, and this is only the beginning, I can't imagine how I will be as they get older.


Ethan has gained almost 4 lbs. He now weighs 12 lbs 14 oz (he is in the 50% percentile) and is 24 1/2 inches long (97% percentile). At least he is taking after his daddy in height and not his mommy! Even though shots are no fun, he is a healthy boy and that is all that matters to us.
