It's official. Elijah is fine and dandy. What a blessing! We knew so anyway, but having confirmation from a professional is always nice.
We went for the 12 month check-up this morning with his new Dr. (Angela Rogan). I really like her so far. She told me he's right on track developmentally, socially, physically, etc. Here are his stats...
Weight: 21 lbs. 10 oz. -- 25th percentile
Height: 30 inches -- 50th percentile
Head Circumference: 18 inches -- 50th percentile
He's a peanut - but healthy, and no one is worried about the low weight percentile. He eats like a horse and plays even harder. Boys get skinny, or so I'm told. I guess I would be too if I did one thousand pull-ups and one thousand crunches every day. Maybe I should take a lesson from him.
The only down-side is that my poor baby had to get 3 shots today too - MMR, HiB, and Chickenpox vaccines. He screamed bloody murder and I felt like the meanest Mommy ever. It's a necessary evil, I think. These should be the last ones until he's preschool age.
And so, after a traumatic and painful morning, my little guy is in a Tylenol induced slumber now.
