1 year check-up...

was a bit brutal. 5 shots and a finger prick - OUCH!! Poor guy did a good job considering but for sure the longest and hardest he's cried at an appt. I think it was harder for his mom and dad. Thank goodness Gregg went with us to the appointment. He weighted in below average at 20lb 9oz which Doc said was fine. His height was 30 inches - above normal, I'm hoping he gets some random family gene for height since Gregg & I are the most average you can be. And his melon, measured in at 18 1/2 above average...imagine that, a Farmery in our house with a"big" head. He is already full of himself just like his dad - he's got a great trainer! The finger prick was to check his iron levels which were also good at 12.3. Overall a big thumbs-up from Doc Mudd!
New discoveries - his index finger. He loves to point at things, lets hope it doesn't get him in too much trouble one of these days. He's been saying "momma", "dah" (dad) and "dohg" (dog) and more recently we've added "bubye" when he waves - it's hilarious because he'll say it when your coming or going!
Jack loves to bring things to you - his cars and his 2 favorite books. He will have your read them over and over. We'll set them down and he'll bring them right back! And finally, Jack's figured out how to use the wall to stand up and walk down the stairs. I am amazed at how quickly he figures things out! What an amazing process:)
