We had Michael's one year well-baby check today. This means that we saw a new doctor, got a new set of rules now that he is one, got all the specs and five shots.
First the good news.... Michael is healthy! The boy weighs 25 pounds and is 32 inches tall. To put this in perspective, Addison was 19 pounds 15 ounces at her one year appointment and only 30 inches tall. The child is in the 90th percentile for his age group. He doesn't have any lead or anemia. Everything is good.
The shots...he got five today including his flu shot. The child did not even wince when they did the finger stick for the blood draw. He actually even smiled at the nurse after she put the bandaid on. The shots were another story. We got through the first one with no tears and the second one was almost done by the time he started to whine about it. Needless to say, by the fifth shot it took my whole body to keep the kid on the table. He was fine about 20 seconds after I picked him up and then he slept the whole way home.
I really like our new doctor. She seems very laid back and was really good with Michael. She watched him play and talked to me like she had just come over for coffee or something. It was probably the most relaxing doctor's visit we have ever had.
On to the home things. The fence posts are in and we are supposed to have the rest of it by the weekend. Matt got his crazy television and is in the process of mounting it and getting the entertainment center together.
I think that should catch everyone up. We can't wait to start getting visitors!

I remember when I was very young mom took me to the doctor to get a shot. I did not want it to say the least, and it took her and two nurses to hold me down so the doctor could give it to me... So I know where he is coming from! *smile*
And it sounds like your getting settled in if your ready for company... post some pictures of the house and Matt's TV... why is it "crazy" anyways?
