Harrison's First "Well" Baby visit

Harrison had his 12 month check up today. They call the routine check ups "well baby" check ups. But Harrison was never "well" for any of them. Today he was "well!" He weighs a whopping 22lbs 9 oz (42nd percentile). So he is a little small for his age but you wouldn't be able to tell that by his big belly. And he is 31 inches tall (80th percentile). He is very tall for his age which is hard for me to notice because William towers over him and he looks so little to me. He is doing great. He is probably behind in his vocabulary but that is ok because he has had so many health set backs that that is normal. His ENT said that he is hearing 30 decibels higher now and will really start to "talk." He babbles some and says "dada" but I think he just likes the sound. He doesn't associate the word to Scott. His ENT also said his ears are pearly white like they should be opposed to purple and filled with mucus like before (the tubes are working great)! I am so excited for him.

This weekend should be really nice. We have some plans for Sunday (more to post on that later-I will keep you in suspense). I hope everyone has a nice relaxing weekend!
