Well, my baby survived her two-month shots today like a champ–she cried for about twenty seconds, and then promptly started looking around again, observing her surroundings. She was asleep ten minutes later. Hallelujah. Side Note: I am almost positive the shots were just as hard for me as they were for her. But the good …
