Frohe Feiertage

Doing pretty well

Liko is doing very well. He's a cute, healthy and very strong boy who can't wait to crawl and run through our house....until then he has so much energy that sleeping is not his favorite activity :-)

Vaccination

Today Liko got his first shot...vaccination against diphteria, whooping cough, tetanus, polio and pneumococcal disease. He is now 10 weeks old. Usually babies get their first shot at 8 weeks, but we needed time to think. There are many stories about the side effects, some of them really serious. But on the other hand: there are so many kids who don't experience any side effects at all. I guess it's because of Kalle and the whole medical circus that it just doesn't feel right to inject something into such a young baby. We kind of lost our trust in medical science.
But Liko was brave. He only cried for a couple of seconds. Let's hope he will be fine the rest of the day.

There was another milestone today: he put a toy in his mouth for the first time.

During the last week he played with his hands a lot and now he apparently realized that his hands are not the only tasty thing...
