Today I took Isak for his 12 month check up and shots. It was quite the experience. We had to wait for 20 mins in the exam room for the doctor because somehow they had screwed up their appointments. So Isak wasn't the happiest baby in the world. He hates the doctor mostly because he doesn't know who he is and he's always poking stuff in his ears and making him lay still. So, here are the stats:
Weight- 23 1/2 lbs, (50-75 percentile), has
dropped off a little due to all his walking..
Height-31 1/2 inches (85th percentile)
Head-48 cm (90 percentile), still huge
But the worst was the shots at the end, there were three, 2 in one leg and 1 in the other. Now I have given lots of shots, even given babies shots, but there is nothing worse than seeing your own baby cry so hard that they hold their own breath and don't calm down for 10 mins. That nurse sure got outta there fast though. I informed Kevin he would be taking Isak to his 15 month check up...

I hate taking Brode to the doctor and watching him cry after shots. It breaks my heart. I get Micah to do the dirty work. It is better that way. Dadda's can be the bad guys and Momma's are the good ones.
thats awesome hes a bigggg boy!! we brought cole in for him 9 month check up and he was 22lbs 8 oz. 30 in tall. but i know what you mean about the whole shots thing.. its not fun at all!!
Lena,
Caleb weighs 25lbs (10th percentile), and is 32 inches tall(3rd percentile). They are going to be the same size this summer. Our doctor assures us that Caleb will eventually be a normal sized person.
