We just got back from the pediatrician, where we learned that Nicholas has his mother's pain threshold. He had to get one shot, and some blood work done (all routine). He cried each time, but then almost immediately went back to sleep. In fact, he started to fall asleep even as the nurse was still drawing blood from his heel. Go Nicholas.
In other news, we got his vital statistics for one month old. He is still 21½ inches long (50th percentile), but weighed in at 11 lbs. (75th percentile). All of those 2-hour-long feedings in the middle of the night are having an effect!
Nicholas did do very well, but to be fair, his tolerance for the shots was aided by a pacifier.
