Ouch!

Aidan received his first set of shots today.   You have never heard that child scream like he did for those shots!  He didn't mind the rotovirus liquid vaccine but he definitely didn't like the three needles they stuck into his legs.  His little mouth opened and the most forceful scream came out of it and his face turned red as a tomato.  
Oh well, he was fine once they were done and I picked him up.
I admit I'm a mean mom because I decided to continue the torture and had the lab do a blood test to check his iron levels.  Hey, one really bad doctor visit versus two yucky ones; get it all over with in one shot!  Poor kid had to be poked again.  He of course, liked this as much as he liked the previous needle pricks.   
I'm happy to report that his iron is at a normal level so he no longer needs his iron supplement.  And, the little guy is not so little anymore.  New weight total: 11 pounds!  :)
