Tall and Thin

Koen is FOUR MONTHS old today!!! Wow, Wow, Wow!!! He grows so fast.

His doctor only had good things to say for Koen and said that he's looking great! We learned that he is a tall and thin little man.

His appointment started out well. Unfortunately, I had to wake him up from a nap, but it was completely worth it when I got to see how much fun he was having looking at himself in the mirror. He shared some good laughs and smiles.

I had been dreading his shots so much more than last time but knew they were to come. All I could think about was how sad and uncomfortable Koen seemed after his last shots and I wasn't looking forward to another sad day like before. All day he wanted to do nothing more than sleep. He hardly ate, and would give the saddest little whimpers where I could tell he just ached.

So when they gave him his shots today, he of course didn't like it. His face turned extremely red and he just cried and cried. If you've seen Koen cry, you've probably seen his little pout that he gives too, which he didn't hesitate to give today either. He looked at the nurse with of face that seemed to ask, "Why did you do that to me?" She said that he had one of the saddest faces she's ever seen. Poor Koen. If only I could explain to him the benefit of the shots and have him understand. If only I could give him a simple sucker to make life perfect again. Unlike last time, I had baby tylenol, so I gave Koen some shortly after to hopefully help him feel better.

Once we got home, I just sat down and we cuddled together with a soft blanket and I gently rubbed Koen's back. He just buried his face into my shoulder and tried to fall asleep. Though I'm sad that he's not feeling good... I did really enjoy the cuddle time with my son. I'm still not sure what the rest of the day will be like and how he will feel. I'm hoping he will soon be back to his normal, happy self.
