We took Hayden to the doctor for his one-year check up on Monday morning. Jay got to go with us, and he always finds good parking so I was not surprised when he found one right in front of the door. Good thing, too, since it was raining and yucky out! We only waited a few minutes before we were called back for his weight and height. Hayden is 22 lbs, 3 oz and 30.5 inches long! He has nearly tripled his birth weight and is in the 75th percentile for height but only 50th for weight. He's long and lean! Some days he definitely feels more than 22 pounds.
The doctor did some motor skills testing and checked him out. Luckily his cough is just some congestion and nothing more serious, so we got him some nose drops to alleviate the stuffiness and he has been sleeping better already! The cough seems to have subsided and we are grateful it wasn't anything more. The German doctors are definitely more laid back than American doctors, which seems to suit our family style. We asked a few questions and were out the door in a half hour. Not bad!
Because of when he got his six month shots, we actually have to wait about 2 weeks before we can get his next round of immunizations to make sure they're spaced correctly. I don't mind putting them off; they're definitely the worst part! But our little boy is developing right on track and always brings a smile to his doctor's face so we're happy.
