We're home today. Palmer is just not himself. He hasn't pooped since Thursday (its Monday) and he got two vaccinations this morning. The first ones he got two months ago didn't upset him at all. But he's been very unhappy all day. If he's not eating or sleeping, he's crying or wimpering. Poor baby. On the developmental front, he's doing great. He weighs 16lbs, 10oz--at the 90th percentile. He's 26 inches long--at the 95th percentile. And his head is perfectly in the middle. No big melon. No pinhead. Just right. This is normally the time that they start talking about solid food. But the new guidance is that babies should be exclusively breast fed until 6 months. So, that's what we're doing for now. But the doctor said that if he starts acting interested in our food, we might want to go ahead. Like everything else with babies, the window for interest could close.
