Vaccines Today :(

Robby got his first set of vaccines today and it was not an easy thing to go through as a mom. It was so sad! I think I was more scared and upset than Robby. 
He got 4 different vaccines today, one by mouth and the other 3 by shots. He took the one by mouth so well. The nurse said she didn't even need a napkin for his little mouth because he was drinking it like a champ. They gave him the other 3 vaccines in his thighs and he cried like crazy. I was holding him and my cousin Josh came because Rob had work. The nurse did them really quickly and it was over in a second, but it felt like forever. 
As soon as he was done, I tried to calm him down and then gave him a bottle. He was okay and slept the car ride home.

On another note, The rest of his 2 month well appointment went great. He is doing so good and growing so much! His reflexes are great and he has no problems :) He's doing everything a 2 1/2 month old should be doing :) His next appointment is at 4 months. 

We also noticed a little freckle on his back today! His first freckle! Looks like a little mole, similar to mine. 
Anyway.... When we got home, I gave him Tylenol because the doctor said he could get a fever. He slept for a little while and then was just a little fussy here and there. He's been acting a little different too, smiling and cooing like crazy... It's a little nerve wracking but I'm sure he's okay. The scare with vaccines these days gets us thinking the worst. 

Anyway, it's 11pm and he's wide awake which is weird because the past 2 weeks he has been going to sleep at 9-10. A lot of excitement today (not necessarily good excitement, but still excitement).  

He's still a little congested so we will see how his night goes.
