Dominik shared his smiles with our pediatrician today at his four month check up. For posterity's sake, he's 27 inches long (95%) and 16 lbs 13 oz (85%). He's smaller than Konrad was at this age, but still within striking distance to catch up (or perhaps the nurse over-measured Konrad two years ago...possible!)
Dominik also received his vaccinations. The doctor said they had the flu shot available (but Dominik is too young at this time), so I requested it for Konrad since he was with me (Lukas and Natalie were both at school.) I had Konrad go first, "to show Dominik how we get a shot." I asked him to take his shoes and pants off, leave his underwear on. He complied, then climbed up on the table. I held his arms (he wasn't struggling) and told him it would hurt a little and then go away.
I don't know how Konrad could have reacted LESS to the shot. He might have blinked twice, but that was it. I was shocked at his non-response and asked, "Did it hurt?" "No." Wow!
However, Dominik wasn't taking notes, because his response was decidedly different.
