One Year Old Stats

In all of life's recent craziness, I forgot to post about Little Man's one year well visit. He weighs in at 20.4 lbs. and is 31 1/4 inches long (the right side, which is his unaffected leg). I have to look up what Carter's weight was at 1 year, but I know it was less than 20 lbs. Funny that this boy that was so sick turns out to be my little chunker! The doctor was very happy with his growth and development. We also had the chance to update him on all the recent news from the different specialists. Owen is on a delayed vaccination schedule so he did not receive any shots at this visit. Actually, before the one year visit he was all caught up since there were no shots at 9 months (when he received his 6 month shots), but we have decided to keep him on the delayed schedule. We decided to put off the 1 year immunizations particularly because of the close proximity to his bladder surgeries.

Speaking of bladder surgery, the big day is going to be October 12. We were hoping for the end of September, but that is the first available date so we are going with it. We still feel blessed to be moving forward. Call it irony, coincidence, whatever you want, but this reimplantation surgery will be taking place once year to the day after Owen's original surgery was performed!

The pediatrician was also surprised and thrilled that Owen is walking, and doing it so well. He agreed with the orthopedist that his leg strength is equal on both sides. This is something to be truly thankful for.
