Abby's 6 mo.

Today we had Abby's 6 mo. appointment. I took all the kids with as Sam had to get a shot and I thought Matthew could provide some comic relief for the whole outing. Actually, Matthew cried more than any of the kids despite not getting any shots or even being examined by the doctor. The doctor simply tried to engage him in conversation which resulted in an outpouring of screams and tears. Sam braved his shot very well and barely teared up. He almost immediately removed the band-aid covering the puncture as he thinks that that causes the pain, not the poke. Abby braved her shots very well and simply held in a scream with a bright red face for about 5 seconds, then let it out for about 10 seconds, then she was done and was fine. What brave children!
