T. is a Trooper

Today was Talitha's 2 month check up. Yeah she's a little late since she's now just over 3 months old. We've been out of town and we switched health insurance and I've been dragging my feet getting her in for her immunizations. Today was finally the day though and I'm very happy that Talitha's new dr. is willing to give her the vaccines she needs in phases of one at a time spread out with a minimum of a month between each one. I really wasn't comfortable giving them all to her at once when she's just so small and young. Today she got her 3-in-1 diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis shot. We were expecting the worse and cringed in antipication waiting for Talitha to cry but to our surprise she didn't. She just looked at us, got a little fussy, and that was it. We were very proud of her. The dr. was also very impressed by her development, strength, and cooridination and said she it at the level of a 6 month old rather than 3 months. But I think it was all Taltitha's smiling and googeling at the dr. that she was most happy with. We came home fed Talitha and she fell asleep soon after. We all took a nap togehter and now she is down for the night. I'm glad we had a good ending to a scary day.
