Hunters 1 yr Dr's Appt

My poor baby. He's such a little trooper. I don't know if the visits are worse on the kid or the parent. Today I think it was both. Today was his 1 year check up. Here's a few things the doc said:

*21 lb 1 oz (25% for his weight)
*29" (25% for his height)
*35% for his head measurement
*He's growing very good and he's very healthy
*He is getting his 14 month molars (she thinks it's crazy that they call them that because they don't always come at 14 months, as in Hunter's case) His gums are very swollen due to them coming in and he's experiencing some pain and discomfort with them (thanks heavens for tylenol)
*He doesn't have any food restrictions any more (yeah!)
*He can have whole milk (which he's been on for 3 weeks now)
*He can face his carseat forward (which has been that way for about 4 weeks (dad got impatient)
*He had to have 5 shots today :(
*He had his hemoglobin checked (which was yet another poke, that was on the toe)-he's not anemic (which is good)
*He has an ear infection in his right ear, yet again (everytime we go to the doc he has an infection. This is probly the 4 or 5 one now and we're only 1)
*For those of you who don't know about my sons penis issue(this may be to much info for some of you but)-He has a patch of fat right above this region and it doesn't stick out like a normal penis should, it looks like it's hidden in a hole (i don't know how to describe it). We saw a specialist when he was about 4-6 months old and he isn't to concerned about it he just has that patch of fat that he needs to loose and then it should be okay. Of course, I as his mother am worried (and lets not get started on how worried Grandma Watson is :) That's a story for another day) Anyways, to the point. She has to break some skin around it today so that his penis sticks out more. What happend his when it healed from his circumcision the skin grew back on to the penis a little bit and isn't allowing it to come out as much as it should. Although, it still stays hidden he has a little more of a head to it. Before it just looked like a little pea size when you pulled it out of the hole. It was very painful.
*We're on an antibiotic now for the ear infection
*We go back in 4 weeks for another shot-it's the other half of his flu shot(I guess they have to do it in smaller doses when they're this young, which stinks)

So, all in all it was a rough appt but it done and over with and he is now peacefully sleeping on the floor
