12 Month Checkup

So Jonah had his 12 month checkup at the doctor on Tuesday. It went pretty well overall. He has been fighting a stuffy/runny nose for over a week and a cough for many days, but the doctor wasn't concerned at all about that...his lungs and everything sounded great. He did have a little clear fluid in his ear, but not enough to make the doctor worried and he didn't even want to put him on any meds for it so that was good. He is growing well the doctor says. He is definitely slowing down in weight...he is 21 and a half lbs and that is only the 30th percentile but the doctor says that is just fine. He is staying up there in length though...he is 30 inches long and that puts him in the 75th percentile. He had to get four shots and that was not fun. He cried really hard...it makes me feel so bad for him! The shots did not have any affect on him afterwards though...no fever or fussiness or night waking or anything so thank goodness for that! He also had to get a finger pricked to check his iron levels and they were a little low. The nurse gave us a sheet with suggestions of foods to be giving him as often as we can to help his iron levels and they will just test them at his next appointment which will be at 15 months. I am so thankful for a healthy one year old boy!!:)
