Yesterday we headed to Kaiser for Nikos' one year check-up. Little Neeky is still clocking in a little bit on the small side but Dr. Ray isn't too worried, she just wants us to watch his weight and really make an effort to get him to put on some pounds. His weight has fallen below the 5% mark, his height is holding at 5% and his head is coming in at 25%.
Weight - 17lbs
Height - 28.5 inches
Dr. Ray ran a few tests to make sure his low weight gain wasn't caused by any factors we need to worry about and we should know the results this week. He proved that he has excellent vocal abilities and lung capacity during his round of four shots and when they took blood -- which was horrible since they had to take it from his arm like a "regular" person. It left both of us crying and me swearing to not take him to the doctor alone again!
On a more cheerful note, we found out today that Mich's hip surgery went well and that our new little friend Reese Brinker got to come home from the hospital earlier than expected. Wahoo!

Oh man, I am sorry you two had to go thru the blood taking trama, no fun! It hurts so much to see our kids in pain!
Good weight gain since his last appointment though!!
looking forward to hearing the results - so sorry the doctor's appt. was hard for you! nikos is just precious! jack to - holding at 5th % - we will see at one year. we both have peanuts.
I meant jack TOO - T-O-O! embarrassing.
He must be really smart with that 25th percentile head. I think it's time for more Cinnabon to chunk him up.
