4 month shots

We went back to the doctor today for John Thomas' ear infection recheck, and his 4 month shots.  Dr. M didn't want to do his shots a couple of weeks ago, with his ear infection, in case John Thomas had another reaction to the shots.  Well--Dr. M was right--when we got home today, I checked John Thomas' temp.  It was normal.  Then I noticed he was getting warm--100.7.  The new "rule" is that you aren't supposed to give tylenol unless the fever is over 101 because it can react with the vaccination.  With Hadley, I always gave her meds before & after her appointment, so I don't know if she would have ever had a reaction or not.  Then, I checked again, and his fever was at 102, so I gave him meds.  He's sleeping right now.  I'm about to wake him up to feed him & check his temp again.  Other mommys & nurse friends--what does this mean?  If he has a reaction to shots every time??

This picture was taken at my mom's house a few days ago--we were out for a swim.  Isn't he a doll? :)

--Also, John Thomas weighed 16.5lbs at this appointment.  Which means, he gained a whole pound in 2 weeks!
