Lots of shots!

Oh my, I had to take both boys to the doctor on Tuesday afternoon. Cameron was due for his six month checkup and so he was due for three shots. Turned out that the doctor's office had flu shots available too. So I requested them for both boys. I feel almost a bit bad that I CHOOSE for them to have to get a shot. But I know that getting the flu would be much worse for everyone. Poor Caleb especially has gotten used to not having anything done at Cameron's checkups. He was quite upset that he had to get a shot too. I pointed out to him that his brother got three more than him! Both boys were screaming and crying by the time it was over but thankfully calmed down after a minute or two of a group hug.

On the way home, I told Caleb that I would be getting my own flu shot later in the week. He asked if I would cry and I said no that I wouldn't. That I knew getting the shot was much better than getting the flu bug. I tried to tell him about how it's a bad bug that makes you feel really awful. That the shot will help keep him healthy. By the next day he wanted to show a friend at daycare where he had gotten his shot!

Cameron is doing well and growing at a healthy pace. He's right in the middle for his range so doing well. I barely got to tell the doctor about all the things he's already doing. He asked if he was sitting up and I said that he's been doing that for awhile. He weighed in at 16 pounds which is a little less than I was thinking. I think the onesies that go to 18 pounds still seem a little bit snug and small on him!!!

Soon we'll be getting ready for Halloween. Caleb wants to be a ghost. Cameron was going to wear a hand me down Tigger outfit but I'm now realizing the outfit that was a little big for Caleb at his first Halloween might be way big for Cameron for his! That three month gap might make a bigger difference on the one year outfit. Might have to find him his own thing.

Well, mostly just the same old same old around our place. The sleeping through seems to be sticking. Of course we still get some 4am wakeups. I still walk around a bit sleepy and loopy headed so I'm amazed I functioned at all when he was getting up more often! Perhaps the damage is still not gone. Or it's just the busy pace that leaves me sometimes spinning in circles not sure what to do next.

Hope everyone is doing well! Take care and talk to you soon.
