Today was doctor's day for Timmy. It was his 18-month well-baby appointment, even through he's 22 months old. A technicality necessitated by the Army's medical system's insistence upon a doctor's appointment before getting vaccinations. According to the doctor: Timmy's healthy. Not that we suspected otherwise, any way. He's in the 75th percentile for his height and a tad bit under the 50th percentile for his weight. The trip also included the aforementioned vaccinations- four shots in all. When Timmy bumps his head or otherwise hurts himself, he'll open his mouth and inhale, then hold it for a bit before screaming his lungs out. Generally, the longer he holds it before screaming, the worse the pain is. When Timmy got his first shot, he started the process, but didn't actually make any sounds until after the last shot was done.
