Eli's Second Vaccination

Eli is 13lbs, 8oz! He got his second vaccination today; it was for Hib.

Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is a bacterium that infects the lining of the brain, causing meningitis. Meningitis is caused by several different bacteria. However, before the Hib vaccine, Hib was by far the most common cause of meningitis.

He did really well, considering he's congested from all the pollen. Dad was there to hold him after his shot. Dad swears the only reason mom made a big deal about him coming to the appointment was so he could hold Eli for his shot. Mom firmly denies the charge.

Eli's grandparents also paid a visit this evening... grandpa wanted to make sure the Gator outfit he got for Eli wasn't lost:

Dad's coming up with a clever way of explaining the disappearance of the Gator outfit since grandpa bought size 24months.

Grandma's getting geared up for the big Infinger family reunion this Saturday in South Carolina. Dad's so excited to go, he can hardly contain himself.

Dad also wanted props on being the photographer for many of the pictures on Eli's blog. He does a great job, but he's got easy subject matter! Here are a few cute ones from Easter:
