The 4th and the MMR

OK well I haven't been on here in forever, I guess it really is time for an update.

Lets see on the 4th we had a birthday party with the Kite family and then Gabe and I went to see the fireworks while Sean had to go to work. We sat closer this year than we did last year so the fireworks were louder. Gabe did OK though he drank his bottle and watched them.

I had to take Gabe to the allergist last week to get his MMR shot which if you don't know is something that most people have done at the pediatricians office but because of Gabe's allergy to eggs they wanted to take him to the allergist to have this done. We had to start by testing him on his arm to see if it gives him a reaction. they tested him with egg whites and with the vaccine. He is definitely allergic to eggs but the vaccine didn't have a reaction so they gave him half of the shot in one leg and waited 15 min and then did the same thing to the other leg. He did just fine with the shot but lets just say he doesn't like the nurse at all. When she would just poke her head in the room to check on us he would scream. Any way I'm just glad that he could get the shot because I don't want any chance of him getting measles or mumps or anything.

That is really all that has happened over the last two weeks. This Saturday we are going to big surf, so that should be tons of fun Gabe just loves the water.
