Nicholas had a pediatrician’s appointment today. His pediatrician reassured me that him crying for 24 hours was not a reaction to his vaccines given last November. I was too naive to know any better. He got the Pediarix shot today. One shot, FIVE vaccines: Diptheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Hepatitis B and Polio

From 3-6 Months, Nicholas started paying attention to the TV, so we would play an occasional Baby Einstein video for him once every few days or so. He loved them and would smile and coo and make noise – he really enjoyed them. He started babbling right around 3 months. At 3 1/2 months, we took him to an ENT because we were worried about him being tongue tied. He had this bag ball of something under his tongue. By the time we got to the appointment, that ball was gone and it was believed to have been saliva trapped in his frenulum. The problem never returned. He started drooling and teething and also started laughing. Around 5 months, he rolled from back to front and stood up with help at 5 1/2 months (although we think he could have done it sooner)
