Andy's 1 year checkup

Andy's 1 year pediatrician visit was this morning; he's now 30.25" and 24 lbs. He got his finger pricked for bloodwork before we even saw the doctor, so he was unhappy right from the start! He cried nearly the entire time we were waiting for the doctor, and just as he would calm down, he'd look at his band-aided finger and start crying again. When I made his appointment, I forgot that today is one of the built-in snow days and I was going to have my friend's 2 daughters over, too...so not only did I bring Kaylee along to Andy's visit, but Ellie and Erin got to tag along, too! Even with 3 girls to entertain him, he was crying more than not until we saw the doctor. She said he looks great and seems to be doing well with everything. After she left, the nurse came in with the dreaded shots - three this time. He did NOT like that, but I think he cried less from all that than from the finger prick! Maybe because he was mostly dressed, so I put on his pants and coat and told him we were leaving. His next appointment is in mid-May, at 15 months old. I'm pretty sure I scheduled that for a school day, so hopefully it'll be just me and Andy that time!
