Another shot...poor baby!

Poor baby! Joel had to get another shot today from the Visiting Nurses for RSV prevention. Dr. Foldvary's office applied for the medicine for him since he was a preemie and the shot is supposed to protect his lungs from that disease. He has to get the shot once a month for five months, and the nurses come to our house to do it. Unfortunately, he did not do as well as he did with the H1N1 shot. The poor boy probably feels like a pin cushion these days! He cried and cried after this shot, and holding and rocking him didn't seem to help. He eventually did settle down, but not until he broke his mother's heart! He seems fine this evening and went to bed right on time with no fever or anything, so I think he is fine. Yesterday we went Christmas shopping with my sister. He was a trooper! (I told Rob he did better than Rob would have if he had gone with us! :0) ) He was smiley and laughing almost all day, and liked all the attention he got from the clerks and the other shoppers. He can sit up in the cart seats now, so he thinks he is pretty big stuff! He slept no more than 45 minutes all day long, and really only fussed at the last store we went to. He slept well last night and woke up chipper this morning. I think we need to go shopping more often! He is really fun these days. He is making funny faces with his mouth and is very "talkative"....he is almost always making some kind of noise! He has recently started grabbing Rob's ear and pulling hard on it when he is holding him. I told Rob he gets no sympathy from me....Joel has been pulling my hair for months! Tomorrow night is the bonfire in Dad's woods. Joel loves to be outside and has liked going to the woods before, so hopefully he will be fun. More later...
