I met my pretty French doctor, Dr. Moureaux, again on June 13th for my 4th- month visit. Daddy was in Dallas for a training so Mommy took me there with my Grandparents.
We arrived in the city almost an hour early so we took a walk in Central Park. It was so good being in the park again, seeing all the strollers with beaming parents and grandparents around, breathing the fresh air. In the Great Lawn a stage was being set for an Opera performance in the evening. Too bad we are not 'New Yorkers' anymore so it would be difficult to stay for the performance! We also took lots of photos. The park was not as stunning as it was several months before with all the cherry and white pear blossoms; however it was still very beautiful.
When we arrived at Dr. Moureaux's office, I got my weight, height, and head circumference measured again, as usual. I now weigh 17 lbs 10 oz; measure 26.5'', which still put me at the 90th percentile. Dr. Moureaux was very glad. She kept saying, 'oh the boy is so big; he is growing very handsomely.' When she saw me craning my neck on the examine table, she told Mom that I would be able to roll over soon. Mom smiled telling her that I had already mastered this trick for the past two weeks.
Then came the most fearsome part of the visit - the immunization shots. I was too excited looking around and too busy smiling and cooing with Dr. Moureaux so I didn't bother to suck on the special pacifier which was filled with sugared water that Mom had prepared for me. Thus, the shots came with such a pain that I screamed and cried. Tear drops were rolling down my cheeks and the crying was so loud that Mom could harldy talk to Dr. Moureaux. Grandma had to take me outside to the waiting room to comfort me. Perhaps it was also more painful because Daddy was not around this time to console me. He was very worried about all the shots that I would have to take this time and had called Mom several times to see how I was doing.
Like the last time, I have been doing quite well this time. Except for somewhat higher-than-normal temperature in the morning, I still laugh and play a lot. The only thing I haven't been able to do is rolling over. It's still a bit painful on my thighs where the shots were injected. Just need to wait a few more days, I guess...

Dear my Ethan,
I've just done with my google account and now can comment on your diary. Your aunti has entered
google just for you, so remember it, okay ;)? I get used to being loyal to things I use like
bank, mobile company, web-based mail provider, etc because I don't want
to change or keep many accounts at a time. And for more reasons, all
the companies need to compete, so they will imrpove or have their
strategic strengths sooner or later. Otherwise, they will die. That's
why I still put my belief in ACB while most people change to
Vietcombank.
Come back to your immunization, I have got myself immunized recently so
I understand that feeling and the bad effects it caused afterward. I
even got pain on my hand thigh during a week after that though I'm an
adult already. So hope you can overcome it soon. Your Mom can help you
do some exercise to make the vaccin absorb and pervade so that it will
not concentrate and cause you pain.
You got so big in the picture that I'm worried you cannot wear the
t-shirts I have bought for you by the time they reach you. You're
really a big boy at your age, 4 months, wow. Your mom is an excellent
mom.
It gets quite long now so I better stop.
Love and long to see you,
Aunti Thang.
