So, when we went in for Joey's 4-month appointment (which yes, was way after he turned 4-months old), we were not able to get his vaccinations because they were out of one of them. They told us to call back this week to see if they got the shot combo in. I called this morning, and unfortunately, they aren't going to get this shot in until NEXT MONTH!! Are you kidding me?!?! So, in place of the combo shot, they were just giving the shots individually...meaning that since this shot was a three-in-one shot, they were just giving three separate shots in place of the combo. That means that Joey had to get five needle shots and one oral! Oh man, oh man! Vaccines already kind of freak me out. I know that they have torn apart the theory that the MMR vaccine can cause autism, but I'm still nervous. What if these vaccines can cause autism, or something else? However, I know that vaccines are so important because they stop crazy illnesses and diseases from plaguing our society again. As a parent, though, I seriously stress out about these decisions that I make now and how they will effect Joey in the future. So...freaking...stressful.

Then, having his way with MeeMee! Haha!
Anyways, we went and got the shots today and Joey screamed and cried as soon as the needles touched his skin. What happens to a mother that sees her baby crying in pain? Why, she balls like a baby herself! Oh geez! I cried longer than Joey did! I'm sure I looked like quite a sight.
On a lighter note, Joey's hair has started to change colors. When he was born and up until the last week or so, his hair has been red. Well, all of the regrowth is more of a brown. If you look at these photos close enough, you can see that Joey has a brown Mohawk! All of his new brown hair is on top, and his old red newborn hair is right above his ears! Ahhh, our little trendsetter.
