Well, Ayden and I just returned from his 1-year checkup, and it could have been more fun! He was actually in a really great mood, flirting with the nurses and the doctor, and getting into absolutely everything in the examination room. He was even well behaved while the phlebotomist milked 5 huge drops of blood from his little thumb. But then it came time for the 3 shots, ChickenPox, MMR, and Pneumonia. I swear the needles they use are long enough to go completely through his leg!!! I felt so bad for him, because he was having such a good time with the new faces that were talking so nicely to him, and then out of nowhere, excruciating pain in his legs. He doesn’t know how to rationalize what’s going on in that situation, and it is so hard to witness! So he wailed for awhile (and I wanted to right along with him!), and then fell fast asleep on the drive home. Poor little kidlet. I know, I know… it’s for his own good… and he won’t remember this later in life… I’ll keep reminding myself of these things.
Oh, I suppose you’re waiting for the statistics. Here they are:
Weight - 21lb 7 oz (25th percentile)
Height - 29.5in (25th percentile)
Head - 48.5cm (90th percentile)
No, the head measurement is NOT a typo. He’s still in the 90th percentile for head size, on his little 25th percentile body!!! I keep hoping he’ll grow into his head!!! Keep your fingers crossed for him! 
Sorry about the ouchies. Shots are no fun for anyone.
But just be glad that he doesn’t LOOK like his head is that much bigger than his body. Then again, maybe the rest of the world is made up of huge bodied babies with tiny heads. (Does that help things any??)
I totally agree on the length of those darn needles! There’s no way they need to be that long. I worry every time that it’s going to get lodged in their bone and they won’t be able to get it out! Ok, exaggeration, but seriously, come ON!
