Danilo's First Shots / Primeras Vacunas para Danilo

Danny had his first vaccinations today. He screamed bloody murder.

But I survived.

I even got away without shedding a tear! (Barely.) Oh, and he's doing fine too. :)

The doctor says he's growing just as he should. I think he's growing like a weed. I think our weeds are growing too fast as well. Oh wait, wrong subject. At eight weeks old, he weighs 9 lbs, 14 oz. and is 21 inches long/tall.

I got to ask lots of good questions, like...

"Why does he whack himself in the face?" "Because he's still learning spacial awareness."

"Why does his eye cry so much?" "Because he might have a clogged tear duct - here's how to clear it." (It's no big deal.)

"Why is his head oblong shaped?" "Because he always sleeps on one side dimwit. (Just kidding, she didn't really say that.) Make him sleep with his head turned the other way sometimes."

...and many other such silly questions that first-time parents ask. ;)

So now our precious bundle is cranky but sleeping soundly. See...

Danilo recibió las primeras vacunas hoy. Chilló como loco.

Pero yo sobreviví.

Aún evité de llorar. (Apenas.) ¡Ah! y Danilo está muy bien también. :)

El doctor dice que está creciendo tal como debe. Yo creo que está creciendo demasiado rápido. Ya tiene 8 semanas, y pesa 9 libras, 14 onzas. Mide 53 centímetros.

Yo pude preguntarle al doctor muchas cosas, como....

"¿Por qué él se pega con la mano?" "Porque todavía está aprendiendo ser conciente de su propio ser y el espacio alrededor."

"¿Por qué llora el ojo tanto?" "Porque puede ser que tiene el conducto lagrimal cerrado - le enseño como abrirlo." (No es gran cosa.)

"Por qué tiene la cabeza no redondo sino alargado?" "Porque siempre duerme con la cara a un solo lado, idiota. (¡Es una broma! No dijo eso.) Tiene que hacer que duerma con la cabeza a otro lado de vez en cuando."

...y muchas otras preguntas de madre-por-primera-vez. Ahora nuestro chiquillo precioso está chichoso, pero está durmiendo riquísimo al momento.

I am glad you made it through. They always sleep really well after shots. Just keep an eye out for those crazy fevers.
