12 month check up

We just got home a little while ago from Dr. Nail's office. Carter is now 20lbs 15oz and 30.5 inches long. That is the 25% for weight, and 75-90% for height. Not too bad. Other than than, Dr. Nail said that Carter's motor and social skills seemed to be excellent! He fought Dr. Nail pretty hard during the physical, screaming, flailing, and kicking like a mad man. Being held down isn't his thing. Also, he had to get a little prick in his finger to check his hemoglobin levels. The 'little prick' turned into a 'blood gushing and running all the way down the hand' kind of experience. Needless to say, Carter WAS NOT happy. His levels were a little low, so we are going to put him on a once a day multi vitamin. BUT, we have to go back in a month and do that all over again. Ugh! Poor little guy. He got THREE shots too, and after that, he was pretty much DONE. It was a rough visit for him! Next wellness check up will be at 15 months, with a hemoglobin check with the nurse sometime mid-May. Hopefully that goes a little smoother. Overall, though, he got an A+, and we are very thankful to have such a healthy and thriving little boy!
