12 Month Check Up

Yesterday we had Kayden's 12 month check up. He did really well, but I think he would have been fine if given a nap. His 3 o'clock appointment really caught up with the Mr. No Napper. He did so good for the Dr, but really ran out of patience waiting for the nurse, and then the shots! This man needed a morning NAP!

Ears - Here are the specifics, FIRST & FOREMOST & #1...
**the fluid in his ears is FINALLY GONE! Ears looked good, this is after a long 2 months of ear infections & fluid! The Dr was super excited, but not as excited as Eric & I!

Stats (in the 60%'s for height & weight)
~23 lbs, 12 oz.
~30 inches long (as Eric told Kayden last night, that's half of Grandma Loftus' height!) :)
~Head Circumference= 48.3 cm, we are consistent with the 93% for this.
(It was funny, the Dr said, "at this age he'll really start to take after traits of his parents, so his head size...." and then I glared at Eric remembering the "pain" of K's head 1 year ago - and the Dr said "so he may have a bigger head." LOL - Thank you Eric! 93% and climbing!

Shots - We then had to wait awhile for the nurses with the shots, so we perhaps had a major melt down. The kind hearted manly nurse decided that she would just hold Kayden's legs down with her body - he wanted to hurt her. I couldn't watch this time - I just waited and grabbed him when he was done! The first shot he just looked at Eric and then didn't breath until the last shot. Only had to have 3, but was really good once he was done. He slept the whole way home and didn't even wake when I moved him from the car to his crib. I had to wake him up at 6:30 - and he was actually pretty good. Went to bed at 9:00 and slept good, woke up a happy kid! Hope he stays feeling good.
PS - I hate shots.

Walking - the most steps K-man has taken is 5 on the eve of his birthday. Last night he took 3, he getting pretty brave!

Teeth - the 2nd one on top, his 4th tooth popped through yesterday! The Dr found it and then I did! Way to go buddy!
