Thursday night (May 28th) we had Ben's 12 month check up scheduled at 6:30. After an hour and a half (!) visit with a very thorough family practice doctor (our pediatrician cancelled at the last minute with a family emergency), we left with 3 shots (MMR, Hep A, and chickenpox), and an order for a blood draw for lead levels and hemoglobin (both standard tests, I guess, for babies 12-15 months of age and living in a 100 year old house). Ben was getting past his bed time and wasn't in any mood for someone to stick another needle in him, so we will return at a later date for the visit with the phlebotomist (I'm kinda proud of being able to use that word).
Here are Ben's stats:
Length - 30 inches (50th%)
Head -18 inches (50th%)
Weight - just under 23 lbs (50th%)
Here's our big boy in his forward-facing car seat.
And today here's Ben standing (on his own - for a few seconds) with a diaper in hand while waiting in the shade for the AC estimate on the 2000 Jeep ($450!! for a new clutch something or other) - now we have to decide - buy a new vehicle or fix this one up... I'm hoping for the former :)
