Virus, schmirus.

That's right folks, you heard it here first. I got my first round of immunizations today! Three shots in all, and while they made me cry like....well, like a baby - I recovered pretty quickly and lived to tell you about it. My parents were just as upset as I was by the shots. I mean, really who can stand to see a cutie like me get poked with a needle??? But we all feel better now that the drama is done, and it's way cool that those viruses can bring it on and I can now dish it back. In the photo to the right you can see me getting the second of three injections while Daddy frantically tries to shove my binky back in my mouth. Good times.

Before all the commotion with the vaccines, at today's visit I got to hang out with my favorite pediatrician of all time, Dr. Brad (see the pic of him + I, below). He is loads of fun - Mommy + Daddy seem to like him a lot, too. I got measured, and weighed, and I am OFF THE CHARTS according to Dr. Brad! I now weigh 10 pounds 9 ounces, which is less than what Mommy guessed, but still it bumps me up from the 25th percentile for my weight (where I was last visit) to the 50th percentile! Dr. Brad said he looks for a gain of half an ounce a day in babies my age, and over the past 30 days I've gained 43 ounces! That's over an ounce a day. And that's not all - I'm getting tall, too! I've grown another inch - bringing me up (yet again) from the 25th to the 50th percentile at 21 inches long.

Go me! And really, go Mom!
