My Baby the Pin Cushion, Part 5

Yesterday was Avery’s 1 year Well-Baby visit. He weighed in at 23lbs and 11oz and was 30 inches long, putting him in the 65 percentile for weight and 58 percentile for height. He is happy and healthy (current ear infection and ruptured ear drum not included) and growing beautifully. Most of the appointment was spent discussing things like when and how to switch to cow’s milk and when to stop using a bottle and other development things like that. I feel like I had a ton of questions, and his doctor answered every single one. Through out most the Q&A and his entire exam Avery actually slept, it was his nap time and he wasn’t going to miss that. He did wake up at the end before it was time for his shots. He got three shots, two in one leg and one in the other. Like every previous time he has gotten shot he took them like a troop on crying out a little and letting a few tears roll, I think he was actually more upset that we pinned him down and he could roam around the office anymore. So all in all a great visit. Next scheduled visit is at the 15 month mark, but I am sure we will be in before that.
