4 month checkup and vaccinations

We took Benjamin to his 4 month doctor's appointment Wednesday morning. He now weighs 14 pounds, 6 ounces! The doctor was very happy with his size. He was in the 50'th percentile for his height and weight, and 90'th percentile for his head size! We talked about his sleeping schedule (which is great!), introducing "solids"... cereal, purees, etc at 6 months, and working on tummy time with the boppy pillow. And then came the scary part... vaccinations! Andy held him on the table while the nurse gave him one oral medication and three little jabs to the thighs. He screamed and I wanted to cry for him! But, it was over fast and I scooped him up quickly. He did alright the rest of the day for the most part. We had to give him some infant tylenol around 3:00 because he was fussy, and his legs were red around the injection sites. He was back to his normal happy self the next day after lots of sleep! Next appointment~ 6 months!
