12 month check up

Erin and I took Aidan for his 12 month check up today. The nurse and doctor checked him out. The nurse lay him on the table, measured his head, his length and weight. And the doctor got his smile-oscope out and checked his heartbeat, then he got other instruments out which he didn't give fun names and checked his ears and eyes and asked us a lot of questions. All was fine. He's dropped a little on the percentile with his weight but the doc said it was nothing to be concerned about.

Erin had to go to work after half an hour which coincided with Aidan having to have 5 injections. Now, this young man is getting an independent personality of his own and he did not want to lie down. But the nurse just said if I laid him down she would hold his legs. I held his arms and she got the injections in as quick as a flash. Within 30 seconds it was all done. There were some tears and a droopy lip but after he was helped up, with his blanket in hand it was as if nothing had happened.

He's not necessarily been the happiest camper this afternoon but he's now tucked up in bed sleeping the after effects off.

Sleep Well, Aidy-boy.
