Noah's 12 month check up

I cannot believe that he is already a year old! He had a great birthday. His Grandma Cindy came over for a few hours during the day and brought Noah a birthday present and his favorite food...french fries, so Mommy sucked it up and let him have some. Daddy came home from work early and we opened gifts and played, then had dinner and got to dig into a birthday cupcake. Then we had a nice long bath, and went to see Grandma and Grandpa Jorgensen. He went to bed a happy, tired boy.

Today we had his 12 month check up. He was 29 inches and weighed 21.5lbs which means he lost a little weight, but that is normal for babies after going off formula/or breast milk as they transition to all table foods. That put him in the 20th percentile for weight and 50th for height. They rechecked his lead levels which were elevated at his 9 month appt. Today they were in the normal range so we are very happy about that! He also got his second doses for both the seasonal flu and H1N1 strain. I didn't get him the regular scheduled vaccines today because they usually make him feverish and cranky for 3 or 4 days following and we have a party planned for Saturday and 6 shots just seemed like a lot for one little boy! So we will be going back next Wednesday for all the rest of his shots. He did great today. It was naptime and he was tired so the shots put him over the edge a little but with a sippy cup of juice and his stuffed animal "Crusty" he fell asleep as soon as we got into the car.
