Unfortunately, for Avery, V-Day stands for vaccination day! She was definitely a trooper though, sad that I can't say the same for mom. I don't know what it is but when you know pain is going to occur for your child you have this huge urge to bundle her up, carry her into the mountains and hybernate for the winter. Sure, innoculations are good, but a mom isn't really thinking about that when doctors are jabbing needles into her baby. Avery did really well until the second shot when she realized the first one REALLY HURT! What do you mean we have two more of these to go? In the end we gave her some baby tylenol, cry, cry and cry some more and finally, let her drift off into a nice little slumber. She has woke up twice to eat and now it is past her next feeding time but I have been told to let her sleep,,, and you don't have to tell me that twice. And get this! She's asleep in her crib! Usually when I have her try to take a nap in her crib (we're trying to transition her out of her bassinet) she acts like the thing is going to set her on fire.
Well, it seems I have spoke too soon, as I typed that last sentence the little miss woke up. I'll leave you with a day in pictures!
Wow Mom, this Valentine's Day thing is great! Do I get chocolate or roses?
I don't mind the doctor's office, they're just going to take my temperature right?
I am really not pleased! We are not coming back here! If they think they are making friends by sticking them with needles they need to know it's not working
What was in those needles? I'm feeling sleepy,,, very sleepy.
First off... could this child HAVE ANY MORE HAIR!?!?!? That second picture of her is just about the cutest thing I've ever seen. And I love those booties!

You are SO right about that hair! She is adorable. And if you think THOSE jabs are bad, wait until she's 14 months or so - though Sam was a trooper. My MUm was worse. Be warned - don't let Grandma come with you!
