Jack - O - Lantern

It has been a big week for Jack. On Tuesday he had his 2 month doctor visit which included his first immunizations. He had 3 shots in his thighs. The nurse was incredibly fast, she was finishing with the 3rd shot by the time Jack realized he had had the first. Dan came with us to this appointment which was a big help to me. I have to admit it was difficult for me to see my sweet boy being jabbed by needles, I actually teared up a little bit but managed to pull it together by the time it was all finished. The rest of the appointment went well. Jack continues to grow like a weed. He now weighs almost 14 pounds and is over 24 1/2 inches tall. The doc said that he is a very healthy little boy!

Wednesday was Jack's first Halloween. We celebrated by taking a lovely walk in the morning - Fall has finally hit Lancaster, the leaves have turned brilliant colors and the air is crisp and cool. He took a nice long nap during the day so he was well rested for the evening. We made dinner and watched an old horror movie while waiting for the trick-or-treaters. We didn't get as many as I was hoping for, but there were a few groups of cuties. Jack and Otis were both pretty agitated by all the knocking and doorbells but they both managed to pull through and enjoy the evening.
