Yes, it was a couple of weeks late, but it’s all good. Here are Nicky’s latest stats:
- Weight: 20 pounds, 13 ounces
- Height: 31 inches
He’s in the 90th percentile for height and he’s dropped to the 25th for weight. DEFINITELY Chuck’s baby, no doubt about it! Dr. Shin said that everything looks good, that’s he’s growing well and developing well. She was impressed by how much he knows already; she said that the average 1-year-old can say 3-5 words. Nicky can say about 20 words!
He got three shots; two follow-up immunizations and the flu shot. I really feel that it’s so important for everyone to get one, and Chuck and I will be getting ours soon. Also, at one year, they test for anemia and lead poisoning, so after his shots, I took him next door to have blood drawn. He cried so much for everything; I felt AWFUL! But, I figure that everything got done within half an hour and he’s napping now, so it’s all done with.
Also, we got the green light to start Nicky on citrus fruits (just not too much at once to prevent diaper rash) and corn, so that’s exciting! He’s such a good eater right now that I want to take advantage of it and expose him to as much good stuff as I can. I really don’t want him to turn out to be a sweetness freak like I am. I’m getting better, though, and I eating so much better now that we have healthy stuff around for Nicky.
So, to sum up, Nicky is awesome and I couldn’t be happier!
