9 month check up

Jeremy and I went to the ped. on Thursday for his check up. We now go to Dr Li, who is a friend from high school. I really liked her and she gave Jeremy a very thorough exam. He weighs 18 lbs. 12.5 oz. He's 27 1/8 in. long, and his head circumference is 18 in. (such a big brain!) hahaha He received two shots, one being 1/2 of the flu vaccine. Well, we'll finish the vaccine but don't think we'll get it again. Amy called me on Friday that Jeremy had been crying most of the time from 11:00-2:00. She held him and he fell asleep on her (he never does that anymore.) You could tell he felt so bad. He ran a little fever last night, and we gave him Tylenol and Motrin. We think he ached because he cried when we laid him in the crib. We thought we'd have a long night, but around 9:30 he went to his crib and fell asleep. He slept pretty good and I only gave him medicine once during the night. He's had long morning and afternoon naps, but he's trying to make up for yesterday so we're letting him sleep. It was awful to see him so miserable. He's never been sick like that so I also wonder if it scared him. But we're past it and praying that the 2nd shot doesn't cause such a reaction. I know the drs say the vaccine is a "dead" virus and such, but it's the only thing we can think of that was different in his environment. And my brother had bad reactions to flu vaccines.

Jeremy also had another tooth- his front left one. Hoepfully we can get him to smile really big and catch it in a photo. Other than that, we are doing well and have no exciting news. Hope this finds everyone else doing well and enjoying fall.
