Well, we made it a year and overall, Nathan was a pretty healthy kid! A few bad colds, three total ear infections and one episode of pink eye were the major ailments but otherwise he had an uneventful year, medically speaking.
At his one year well visit he finally broke into the 50th percentile in weight at 23.2 pounds. It only took a year for our lean little boy to make it to an average weight!
His head continued to grow and entered the 75th percentile at 18.5 inches round. We have a smart boy with a growing brain on our hands!
The biggest surprise at the checkup was his height - 31 3/4 inches long, or the 90th percentile! I knew he was tall but I had no idea he had sprouted up that much!
He didn't mind the toe prick to test his blood levels and I'm happy to say his iron count was higher than the last two visits. However, the poor bubs cried so hard for his two shots! So sad to see your baby in distress like that. He ended up having a red welt and then bad bruising around the shot spots, worse than any other time he's been. Poor baby!
I'm so proud that our monkey has grown so big in the past twelve months and I'm relieved he is doing so well! It will be interesting to see how his stats continue to change into his second year.
