Beautiful James
Far and away our funniest Thanksgiving picture

Well, James had his well child visit at the doctor today. He's now in the tenth percentile for length (21.75"), the sixth percentile for weight (9 lb. 5 oz.), and sixty-fifth percentile for head size (15.94"). No doubt he'll be a genius. :)
Though James is not yet recovered from his virus, the doctor assured us that James was not likely to get any of the thing against which they were inoculating him. Therefore, they went ahead with his vaccines. One of them was just this thing they gave him to drink through a dropper. He didn't mind that one at all. Sadly, the same cannot be said of the shots. They gave him one in one thigh and two in the other. Poor kid screamed bloody murder and turned a frightening shade of purple. It was somewhat traumatic for all of us, but he seems fine now though. Not much worse for the wear. He does have some swollen thighs, but other than that he's fine. Apparently he may be fussy and get a fever, but we're supposed to give him some Tylenol. Patrick bought that and an ear thermometer as neither one of us was terribly keen on checking his temperature the other way. :) More later.

Catching up on James news. Good to see him with his eyes open. Although in the pic with his mother while in their jammies (earlier post), his eyes may be too wide open. He looks like he's been startled by a tofurkey or something.
I'm glad to hear that he's doing well - I can sympathise with the "swollen thighs" feeling, and hope that his go down soon!!
I'm glad the first of his shots are over with. I'm not looking forward to Kara's!
Ahhhh! I always hated when they had to get shots! :( Great pix! Hope you are getting some sleep!!! Cindy
