More Shots

James got his four month vaccinations today, a process that was no fun for either him or his nurse. When we arrived, he'd been sleeping since he got the shots. He woke up long enough for me to tell him that mommy didn't like shots either, but they were all done now so he could relax. Then he went back to sleep.

He's up to 80 ml on his feedings; I think the plan is to go up to 83 tonight (or maybe tomorrow). Still doing fine; a little spit-up, but nothing more than the usual baby stuff.

Matthew was a delight this morning; he was all smiles! He also seems to be more interested when we read him books these days. (We tried reading to him earlier, but it seemed a bit pointless when he was clearly paying no attention at all! These days, he at least seems to like the sound of our voices when we're reading to him, and occasionally looks in the direction of the book.) And he had a wonderful time with his former primary nurse at the NICU today -- she walked him out into the hall where he had a "conversation" with the painting of kitty cats on the wall. (Sorry, Mattie, this is a dog family!)

Well September seems to have ended on a calm note, so let's hope that October will be the best month yet and James will get to come home!

Already have the prayer warriors going for Friday on James's minor surgery stuff.
