One-year checkup
Agent Murphy saw his doctor today. Once again, he went apoplectic at the crinkle paper. Then getting 5 needle sticks didn’t help. Poor guy sounded like he was being tortured. Even getting him dressed to come home was an adventure. But our boy is healthy. His iron count is good, his growth is proportionate all around. (And yesterday he saw the Emory orthopaedic folks for a surgery follow-up. They say his toe is healing just fine and they don’t need to see him anymore.) He’s 24 pounds even (75th percentile) and 32.5″ (still off the charts, above 97th percentile). It’s hard to believe he’s almost a whole ruler length longer than he was when he was born!
Besides working on his walking case, we really have to step up efforts on his sippy cup case. His doc wants him off bottles completely by 15 months, and at the moment he has no interest in drinking from anything but a bottle. So we shall see.
