Freaking Vaccines!

It has bee a 'rumor" or hypothesis of sorts for a while now that vaccines in children are linked to autism. I have known about it and even did a bit of research. But Junior still got all of his vaccines on time. Why would I do it if I worried about it so much? I have no clue. I guess I was just being lazy and choosing to put my sons fate in the hand of professionals.

So there was a study done on monkeys recently. In this study infant monkeys were given the same vaccines that we give to our children and on the same schedule. the one recommended by the CDC. Well sadly the baby monkeys showed symptoms of autism. behavioral and biomedical symptoms.

Vaccines have benefits- no doubt about it. But there are bad things about them too. I think they need to be fixed some. Baby Sal is 18 months old and has had a ton of vaccines. All on schedule. they have to be done in order for us to get some types governmental assistance. He will not need another shot till he is 5 years old.

So now I wonder if I did the right thing. He shows no signs of being autistic that I can tell but what if he did. Of course we would love him the same and treat him the same but I know that I would feel guilty and blame myself.

Here is a link if anyone wants to read about it.

Pictures!

The potatoes may be the funniest thing ever. I could not stop laughing. We rearranged the kitchen and when we did so we moved the toaster oven a little to low. Baby Sal is a future chef. Making baked (9 of them!)at the age of 1. I took so many pictures! I probably should have stopped him but it was so cute!

Isn't he getting big! Well not physically but you know what I mean. It's a little sad but also so much fun.

new look

What do you think? I think it's more "Junior" now. I was going to have a song he liked playing but chose not too. For one I couldn't get it to work and 2 that could be bad, say if someone were at work looking. Though that would mean you were not working so, shame! I still might put the song up but with the option to play it or not. That may be better.
