More immunizations

For almost everyone this time -- even Thomas had his tetanus shot this morning. Mia had the third series of everything: DTaP, Polio, Hib, and PCV7. I swear this time she recognised where she was and knew she was going to get a shot, even if the patches help with the pain. Our next visit will be better and shot-free for once. The doctor teased me again about not wanting to use a suppository form of Doliprane (aka Baby Tylenol) because she says it will help bring Mia's fever down faster. I know it's the preferred way to administer medication to kids here in France but I've never seen a kid enjoy getting a suppo. Generally there's a lot of screaming involved and some pretty funny smelling dirrhea. Besides, she likes Doliprane and smells like sweet strawberry flavored bubble gum afterwards.

At any rate she's 61cm long (75%) and 5k4 (25%) and the doctor said she's just fine. She got all OUI for the development tests: playing with her hands, turning her head to follow an object, (on tummy) lift her head 90 degrees, keep her head level with pulled to a sitting position, and hold her head steady when upright. En bref, tout va bien!
