Today Drakkin was taken in for his immunization shots, what a trial. The doctors visit went just fine. He is in the 50Th percentile for head size, but only 15Th for length and 25Th for weight so he is still small but normal. Drakkin is healthy and still gaining weight ( thank you Rachael and Patti.)
The doctor said he is a bit ahead on his development as he smiles, coos, and laughs already. He follows movement with his eyes and will crane his neck to see something that catches his interest. Normally he is attracted to things that have bright contrasting colors like his favorite toy a stuffed bug that rattles.
The time came for his shots and up to this point Drakkin was happy smiling and talking to daddy. Suddenly there was a series of pokes on his legs and the smiles ended in a typhoon of tears and crying like daddy has never seen before. Fortunately daddy brought a pacifier and the crying subsided in about 5 Min's and we were on the way home. The rest of the evening Drakkin was sleeping, but would wake up crying most likely because his legs hurt. Even his normal playful mood in the bath was missing, but he was calm and even smiled a bit.
Daddy is NOT looking forward to doing this again in 2 months (sigh) but it will get done, maybe he can get mommy to go next time.
