One Year Check-up

Frugal Boy turned one last weekend and that means it’s time for another check-up… and more vaccines!

Andrew’s out of town for the week helping his brother with a cross-country move (more posts on that adventure soon), so I got to take Frugal Boy for the first time in many months.

After the usual developmental questionnaire the nurse took Frugal Boy’s stats:

• Height – 31 1/2″ (96.12%)
• Weigh – 24 lbs. 15 oz. (86.47%)
• Head Circumference – 19″ (95.6%)

Couldn’t believe FB’s grown almost 10 inches and more than tripled his weight in a year!

After a quick look over by his doctor it was time for the vaccines. On the list this time was a flu booster (arm), MMR (leg), chickenpox (same leg), and hepatitis A (other leg). Frugal Boy took them about as well as could be expected (that is not well at all).

 

With a clean bill of health we left the doctor’s office with an appointment for 3 months from now. It’ll be interesting to see how much he grows by then.
