One Year Check-Up!

Today, Ian had his one year check-up! He is growing fine and almost ready for his big boy seat in the car. He is 19lbs. (which puts him in the 5% for his weight), and 30 1/4 inches, (which puts him in the 50 to 75% for his height). He received three shots today, which always makes me a little nervous, and I know is controversial. I just pray over him when he has them. He usually cries for the first few seconds and then when I pick him up, he seems to settle. Izze seems nervous too for brother when he has to get shots. She doesn't say much and seems a little uneasy. The Doctor usually gives her a sticker for coming too. This week I have also stopped breastfeeding Ian. This is bitter sweet. So glad to have the freedom, but knowing he is probably our last baby is kind of sad. I guess there will be many more milestones that are emotional as well. Ian is such a sweet boy. He says mama, dada, peek-a-boo, bye bye. He waves bye bye to daddy when he leaves in the mornings. He claps his hands, and tries to hide his eyes with his hands when you play peek-a-boo with him. He smiles all the time and knows what a lot of things are you are talking to him about. He is amazing, just like his sister. We are blessed with two wonderful children.
