One Year Dr's Appt!

Big guy had his first year Dr's appt on tuesday afternoon. Our wonderful Dr said he was "perfect!" Which is of course what every mom wants to hear! He is 32 inches long- 95th percentile! Almost 23 lbs- 52nd percentile! And head is 50th percentile. He's doing everything right developmentally- they were very happy to hear about the new pointing skills.

Dr. W said that he was right on track for the difficulty with sleeping thing- sleep is cyclical and babies this age wake themselves up during a light sleep time and then get upset when they are suddenly standing! And the difficulty with eating at the table- totally normal, big guy is just too busy to sit still. She liked my thoughts (which were really my friend J's thoughts) about changing up the view when he eats and trying to put him in his booster seat sometimes, not just his high chair.

Dr. W also said his terrible two's start now! Oh no! And apparently I made a face when the dr said that. oh no, not the terrible two's! And she eased us into his tubes surgery the next morning by making sure he'd be ok. It was a great appt and we go back for a 15 month appt. Oh, and big guy got 4 shots! But he cried for maybe two minutes and then was fine. And he flashed the mean nurse who gave him the shots a smile on the way out. He's just such an awesome kid.
