6 Months Vaccine Shots + Oral

Woke up early in the morning and brought Baby K for his 6 months vaccine shots + oral. This trip to the PD is also for the follow up on his eczema. Reached the place 10 minutes before 8am (our appointment was at 8am). And like always, we went to have his height and weight taken first. At the waiting area of the PD's office

He loves to put his thumb into the back of the soothie and sucking his thumb well sucking the soothie.
Then soothie will be stuck to his thumb.

Over the past 2 weeks, he had gained another 150g and he is now 6.6kg. Kenneth concluded that the low weight gain previously must be due to our intensive road trips in August. Baby K did not have proper feeds most of the times. He just can't seems to concentrate in drinking when we are out. Then comes the height (the issue that Kenneth is most worried about). He is now standing at 67.5cm, a 2.5cm growth since the last visit. Well, actually I knew he had grown taller, judging from the Jumperoo coz his feet are able to touch the floor now.

Saw the PD (actually don't need to go back for followup also can coz he basically repeated the same thing to me again).

Still smiling and cherry before the PD came in... Things changed once he saw the uniformed man...

Crying...

More Crying....

Still crying... *LOL*

We are not sure why he cried so hard when he saw the doctor, before he even touched him. During the last few trips to the PD, he was well-behaved. The PD did a quick checkup, we chatted a bit and then went to the next building for the shots! As usual, crying and wailing were unavoidable. But luckily there were 2 nurses administering the shots (4) thus the whole process was quite fast.



There is this guy, a photographer, snapping away while Baby K was having his shots. Then he asked for Baby K's name as well as Kenneth's. He said the photos will be put up at some magazines. Gosh... pictures of Baby K crying. *LOL* So ugly!

Some friends saw the video clip when Baby K went for his 4th month shots and they told me, "can you don't like him cry like this??" Eh... how? If he wants to cry, think there is nothing I can do. Even at home, sometimes we just let him cry and this happen ever since he was weeks old. He knows very well that no one will go to him immediately when he starts crying (and maybe that's why he's seldom cranky).

Baby K was very tired after all the crying. He slept for 1hour plus in the car seat while we went to shop around at BX and then breakfast at Burger King. When we reached home, he slept for another 2 hours plus. Kenneth got very worried and went into the room to wake him up. *LOL*

Then took his temperature, lucky, he did not have fever. Still, can tell he is very tired and restless. But at least he is smiling to us and as usual, refusing to eat his solids.
