Today Hailey finally got her 15 month shots including her flu shot. I figured by now she would be used to doctors, she spend the first 2 months of her life living with with them, spent last winter going in every month for shots, weight checks and check up, had a little reprive this summer, but still has seen them almost every month or two for one thing or another. Well, she does recogize them now, but that doesn't mean she has to like them :-)
Surprisingly, she is in a great mood as we walk into the office doors, she points at all the little kids and says baby, baby ... she points at the fish ... baby, baby ... she looks in the little mirror they have ... baby, baby ... she has smiles for everyone and seems to really enjoy the waiting room, but as soon as we walk into the little room the cries begin and do not stop till we are back in the waiting room. It is so hard to voluntarily sit in a chair and hold your screaming child as they poke her 4 times. I just kept telling myself its for her own good. I was also scared because last time she got shots she started vomiting the next day and just wasn't herself for a good 48 hours and yesterday was the first day in about a month she has been acting herself!
Well, we made it through and surprisingly the shots haven't seemed to affect her yet. Last night she was in the best mood, playing, laughing, walking. I even put lotion on her legs and she didn't scream. This morning the same thing, happy and acting like nothing is wrong. Maybe we lucked out! This time we are hoping and praying to set a record and not see the inside of the doctors office till her 18 month check-up in January ...

Here are a few pictures from before bed last night. As you can see she LOVES Elmo and her blanky!





Next on the agenda, try switching from formula to milk once again. Also, be on the lookout for some cute pictures. Hailey's two "boy" friends are going to be hanging out with her this week/weekend. Wyatt will be visiting Wednesday and my mom will be watching both him and Hailey Thursday and Friday. Then Friday Hailey's friend Elijah will be visiting from Maryland for the weekend to celebrate his first birthday. They will be moving up the 18th of this month. So Hailey has a fun-filled week ahead!
