Today Mommy and Daddy took Pennington to his one year old check up. Over the last year we have been going to the Family Medical Health Center (FMHC) but once our little girl is born we are going to switch over to Dr. Booth at the Treasure Valley Pediatrics downtown location. It was really exciting today to go to the FMHC because Dr. Kathryn Schneider was able to see Pennington. Dr. Schneider (aka Katie) and Mommy has been friends since they were toddlers. Overall Katie said Pennington looks great. She commented on how active he is which is something she doesn't typically see in a one year old. She also mentioned that over the next few months Mommy and Daddy need to focus on spending quality time with Pennington since the new baby will consume a lot of the time we used to spend solely with Pennington. This will be a bit of a challenge for us and we will definitely be blogging about it over the coming months.
Below are the stats from the appointment:
Height - 31.25 inches (between 75 to 90 percentile)
Weight - 20 pounds 8 ounces (between 10 to 25 percentile)
Head - 18 centimeters (25 percentile)
Once again Pennington is still a very tall skinny boy. One of the highlights from the checkup is getting tons of shots. When we say tons of shots we are not joking around at all. They had to give him six separate shots in his legs as well as prick his finger to draw some blood for some test. Not fun at all. Pennington cried through the whole thing but fell asleep when we got into the car to go home and sleep for 2 and a half hours which was wonderful for Mommy. Below is a picture of Pennington after he woke up from his nap. For the most part he was happy as can be for the rest of the day.
