Today was William's 12-month doctor check-up. Everything looked great. He's in the 25th percentile for weight (21 lbs) and the 50th for both height (29.8 inches) and head circumference (18.25 inches). Developmentally he's at the 15-month stage. Although his weight is completely normal (he's steadily been in the 25th percentile since he was born) I have a hunch he would have been slightly heavier had he not had this whole throw-up and the other flu you-know-what-I'm-talking-about symptom this past week.
And then came the shots... Four of them today because I opted in for the flu vaccine not wanting to take any chances. He had a small lunch at noon and now has been sleeping ever since as he does every time he gets shots. He has to go back in four weeks to get the booster flu shot that all infants/toddlers have to get the first year they get the flu vaccine. Luckily for me that's during Christmas week when Daddy will be less busy at work and able to take him in and experience the agony every parent goes through when they watch their child get poked.
