1st Year Checkup

Parker had his 1 year check-up today. Luckily, Chris had the day off so he could also attend and keep the little guy entertained. For the most part, all is well. He's pretty healthy but, unbeknownst to us, he, once again, has an ear infection. This will require another round of antibiotics and will consequently delay the round of vaccinations he was supposed to receive today. Looks like we'll be back in a couple of weeks -- hopefully the ear will be better so Parker can be up-to-date with his shots.


Here are Parker's current stats:

• WEIGHT: 20lb 11oz -- This puts him in the 35th percentile. He's still a light-weight; however, he's getting heavier, even though statistically he's suppose to lose weight since he's starting to walk and becoming more active.
  
• HEIGHT: 30-1/4 inches -- This puts him in the 75th percentile; about the same place as he was last time.
  
• HEAD CIRCUMFRENCE: 49cm -- 95th percentile!! Yes, that noggin is still growing and starting to skew off the chart. But the doctor's not worried since he's always been tracking HUGE when it comes to his head.
