So Monday (Jan. 4th)was Andrew's first day at daycare! I held it together pretty well, I think, I only cried a little that morning....Andrew, naturally, slept & seemed completely unconcerned that he wouldn't be seeing his mother for hours and hours and hours! We stopped by at lunch-hoping to visit-but our little monster was so deeply upset with his situation that he was sound asleep in the swing. Being the incredibly strong woman that I am, I refrained from waking him up-I knew he was crying for me on the inside;)
On Tuesday, I took Andrew in for his first round of vaccinations. I have never been more impressed with technique in my life! Andrew got 3 shots (2 in one thigh, 1 in the opposite thigh)...the nurse was so quick that in the time it took Andrew to realize what was happening (and that he was totally not happy about it) she was finished. It was comical to see Andrew's face-the 'what in the world' look after the 1st shot morphing into 'I think I don't like this' at the 2nd...and finally yelling after the final shot! He was just like the puppies & kittens after 1st vaccinations-cried for literally 10 seconds and then realized that there wasn't anything to cry about! Andrew's grown so much-he's 24" long now & 11 pounds. He's in the 85th percentile for height and 50th for weight. The doctor was happy w/his growth-I know I'm kind of happy that he's still a 'skinny' baby! His big belly is just too cute with his monkey arms (thanks Dad!) and long legs.
It feels like Andrew's been in our lives forever...really have to pinch myself, knowing that he's actually only 8 weeks old.
