4 Month Appointment

Today Colin went for his 4 month appointment, this meant 4 shots! I was more sad about the shots than Colin. He only cried for about 30 seconds once he realized they were happening. We asked the Dr about the theories that have been in the media in regards to the vaccinations causing autism and she said if that were the case, the FDA wouldn't allow the vaccinations to occur. So we asked her why she thinks there are so many more cases of autism now and she said, "diagnosis". Pretty much she was saying that 15 years ago if a child was different, they were sent away. Now they are living with their parents and families and people are wanting diagnoses for their children. So I guess I am going to ignore all of the speculations for the time being. Anyway, Colin weighed in at 17.5 lbs and 26 3/4 inches long. So I was .5 pounds off and a 1/4 of an inch, pretty close!

Hope everyone has a great week. This weekend we are going to Wisconsin to see Matt's Grandma Stellmacher and also Matt's parents will be there. Quick trip, but we are all excited to see everyone.
