P is doing really well. Nursing has been going better than ever and he is getting about one bottle a day, usually of breast milk. He is still working on rolling over but has started to smile in response to things which just melts my heart. His is finally starting to grow out of his last newborn outfits.
I just wanted to talk about shots for a minute. I follow a bunch of blogs of new moms and everyone has been going through their first round of shots lately. Now, I posted about it earlier but P had really no reaction to his two month shots, and without offending anyone, don't get why people have so many issues with their babies getting shots. I can't imagine standing there crying while he is getting shots. Of course I hate to see my baby in pain, but someone needs to be strong and assure him it is okay. That's my job. I strongly believe that babies feed off of your energy. The first time P threw up (think Exorcist vomiting) I flipped out and he screamed for hours. He did it again a few weeks later and without saying a word I cleaned him up and he didn't utter a peep. Honestly, he cried for 30 seconds anyways and was fine after his shots. I nursed him for a few like I was told to do and brought my little guy home where I gave him lots of love and attention and we went on with our day. I feel bad for people who have trouble with it and I sympathize but I can't empathize. Maybe it makes me a bad person. Who knows.
