It's official- our sweet baby is 4 months old. Where has the time gone?? And with that monthly birthday came a checkup with the pediatrician & regular shots (meep).
When Coops got his first round of shots he was a trooper. Crying for no more than a minute as I held him throughout all three pricks & latching immediately after when the nurse suggested breastfeeding as a soother. His temperature went up to 99 degrees at one point later in the day, & the only other difference we noticed was an increased number of naps over the next 24 hours.
All of which left me optimistic for round 2 with the self proclaimed "wicked witch of the west" shot giving nurse, who is actually sweet as pie.
Checkup day got off to a rough start, not sure why but Coops was having one of those I need mommy don't do anything out of the norm I'm overwhelmed kind of mornings. Which led to doctor office screams over everything from getting his onesie off to sitting in the scale to the actual checkup.
When it came time for shots I expected the worst but what we got was a quick cry with smiles & laughter a few seconds later. It was like there was an on/off emotional switch & I was beyond relieved to end the visit on a happy note.
To top it off I wanted to share a few of Cooper's favorite things at age 4 months & I can't wait to look back on this when he has that 6 month checkup come December <3
