Marco had his one year check up on January 26. I was anxious to see his stats to see if this little guy had put on any weight from our last visit. I was thrilled to find out he had gained more weight, but bummed to realize he had stayed in the same percentile (6%).
Height: 29 in. (73.7 cm.) 17%
Weight: 18 lb. 1 oz. (8.2kg.) 6%
Head Circumference: 45.7 cm (18 in.) 38%
While we waited for the doctor we had lots of fun playing and making Marco laugh.
And once the doctor arrived the kids were more interested in her name tag than anything else.
Marco had to get his blood drawn (and get shots). He didn't cry at all when he got his finger pricked. (Lily just looks at the finger-pricking needle and starts crying). But she was really concerned for her brother and wanted to make sure that he was okay.
Marco's shots really knocked him out. For some reason, whenever my kids get shots all they want to do is cuddle or sleep. Usually it's the latter. They go to sleep within an hour of their shots and wake up the next morning. I just need to make sure I don't have anything planned away from home and that we can make the rest of the day slow and uneventful.
On this particular doctor visit, Marco just wanted to cuddle. He is not a cuddly baby and so I was overly excited to get the chance to sit and rock and cuddle my baby boy. These cuddle sessions are so seldom, that when they do occur - I treasure them and make sure that I take full advantage of him in my arms.
