Finn had his 1 year well check at the doctor on Tuesday. I was a bit nervous about it because at the last visit he had dropped to the 23rd % weight class and the doc wanted me to really push the nursing. Well, this time around he weighed in at 21 lbs and 1 oz, still in the 23rd percentile. He also remained in his height percentile (70th) at 30 1/2 inches. This is great news. He is growing steadily and the doc thinks he was just "finding" his proper growth curve. She also thinks he is doing exceptionally well developmentally. All in all, a happy and thriving little boy!
He did have to have several vaccines (MMR, Hep A, Chickenpox, and seasonal flu). Poor babe, they hurt! He didn't have much of a nap prior to the appointment, so was already tired when we got there. He was upset just being placed on the scale, so the needles really got him to crying. Then, just when he was recovered and happy, I had to take him to the lab to get his blood drawn to test his lead and hemoglobin levels. It was so sad to have to hold him down while they took blood from his arm. He was quite the trooper and recovered quickly with a good nap in the car on the way home. We will hopefully hear on the blood work soon.

So happy to hear Finn is growing and thriving! Although it was already pretty evident :)
Great check up. And I love your extended bfing ticker. Hmmmmm, I think I need one too.
So great about the extended breastfeeding! I so wish I had made it longer...but both boys weaned themselves. :(
