Lollipop!

When JD had his first flu shot last month, the nurse asked if it was ok for JD to have a lollipop. It shocked me for a moment that a nine month old would be able to have a lollipop. I said "sure." After his shot, he of course was not happy. I then tried to comfort him with a new food type, and that did not seem to please him at all.

Today, he had his second dose of the flu shot, and they once again asked me if it was ok to give him a lollipop. I said, "yes!" After the last experience, I didn't think he would like it. However, somewhat hopeful, I stuck it in his mouth, and he sucked on it. He didn't give me a look of disgust, and continued to keep it in his mouth.

 

I admit... not the best picture. Although, the sun was in his eyes.

On top of that, he is starting to feed himself! Well, with the puffs at least. I caught it all on video! :)
