vaccine times

Nathaniel had his 18mo check up yesterday. He's doing well. He is 23.25 lbs (25th percentile), 33.5 inches long (80th percentile), and his head is in the 70th percentile.

We got him vaccinated. He was very good about it, and only cried for literally about ten seconds, at which point the nurse asked if he wanted a bear. He just perked right up--yes! He wanted a bear! And he clutched that bear all the way home.

And then ever since, he has been doing one thing.

Nursing.

Nonstop.

Okay, with a little stops. But let's put it this way. He literally nursed without stopping from midnight until two in the morning this morning.

And just now, he nursed from 8:15 until 9:45. WITHOUT STOPPING. He unlatched once for like two seconds and then latched back on.

So, all my nightweaning is undone, and that kid is a milkhead fiend. I'm assuming it's residual stuff from his DPT vaccine or whatever, making him uncomfortable and fussy. Right now he's down for a nap. Here's hoping he naps for a while...
