1 Year Check-Up

Momma has been scared but finally got some good news today! Monday, Grayson had his 1year check-up and during this time we found out that he has dropped to the 5th percentile in weight! Dr. Grant said it could be completely normal since most babies stop gaining weight rapidly at around this point. She also took into consideration that he was sick for a whole week with the stomach bug and that may have caused his weight gain to slack a little bit also. But she did choose to run some tests to check his thyroid and his kidneys just to be sure everything looks good and there was no "real" reason for no weight gain in the past 3 months. So I took him to Quest Diagnostics after our appointment to have bloodwork done. That was HARD watching them stick a needle in my baby's arm! But he took it like a champ! The lady at the lab was singing "Row,Row,Row Your Boat" over and over again to keep his attention off the needle! :) So I had to wait a whole 48 hours to hear the results!!!! Talk about FOREVER!!! I just kept worrying that something might be wrong. But Dr. Grant called me today and said his results look GOOD!!! Praise the Lord!!!

Here are his 1 year stats:
Weight: 18lbs, 14oz.....5th percentile (Whoa!!!)
Height: 30.5 inches.....75th percentile
Head: 46.7 cm........50th percentile

What's Grayson been up to???

We had a little issue with his birthmark and had to take him to the dermatologist. Turns out he had some eczema develop on top of it and it was causing it to itch so he was scratching it and making it ooze! We got some cream to rub on it and it seems to be MUCH BETTER! He goes back for them to check it again on Friday.

Can't believe my little booger is ONE!!! Time has flown by so fast! ♥ this little man to pieces!!!
