5 Month Checkup

On March 7 the boy had his 5 month checkup. He got 2 shots - Polio and Hep B. We were finally able to tell the doctor that Desmond was sleeping in his bassinet at night, instead of on Ron, which made us feel good about ourselves. (It's something we've been working on since, oh - birth).
