Getting shots

The first time when Ian got a shot, his reaction was very interesting.

Pat had to work that day so that he couldn't go with us. I had to take Ian to go to Doctor by myself.

Every time when we were at Dr's office, we heard kids' screaming and crying hard. I was really worried about Ian's reaction. Especially he got to have 4 shots at a time.

As a result, Ian didn't start crying until the nurse already finished and put a bandage on him. His voice was very small. I always say his crying is like a little kitten's voice. So after I tried to pad him, he stopped in no time.

I wondered: if his reaction is kind of slow? But I'm not complaining. This is better than having a screaming kid.

After came home from Taiwan, it's time to go to doctor's office again.

Other than checking on Ian's growth, he is also getting some shots again. This time, Ian started to cry when he got the first shot. It's louder now but still undercontrol.

Ian is now 34.5 inches long and 25 pounds and 6 ounces.

He grew 2.5 inches and 3 pounds in this 3 months in Taiwan.
