This morning I took Case to school as a drop in; so he could play while I took Rhett to his 12 month appointment.
It was sort of weird dropping his off, and not staying, as I suspected though he did just fine, and hardly looked back to say Good-bye! ;)
So littlest man and I were off to his appointment. After stripping him down to just a diaper to get weighed and measured, he played with some leggo's they had in the exam room while we waited for our Doctor. When he came in he just smiled and smiled at him! When he was listening to his heart, Rhett leaned over, and gave Dr. Latham a hug! It was so sweet. He did find a trace of his heart murmur again. He assured me that it sounded like the same flow murmur that he heard before, and that we didn't need to take any further action. As he said, it sounded like a heart murmur that he will grow out of, and the fact that it has come and gone every check up proves that, that in fact is probably the case.
Other than that, he is super healthy!
He has been walking more and more lately. Taking a few more steps daily, and wouldn't you know he walked the furthest I've ever seen him walk in front of our Doctor! Little show off! ;)
Little Rhett weighed in at 20 lbs 13 oz, and is 29 1/4 in long.
Next came the shots, and we needed draw blood again at this appointment to check his levels again. (He was slightly anemic at his 9 month check up, so we had been adding Iron drops to his bottles every day.)
So shots were as always painful to watch, but over quickly. Then the drawing of the blood was just heart breaking, but again over pretty fast. Dr. L called back that afternoon and said his levels were almost there, to give him the drops for about another month and they wouldn't need to recheck him again. (Same exact thing happened with his big brother)
Leaving the Doctor's office, Rhett got lots and lots of kisses from Mommy. He looked so pitiful and worn out, not to mention that it was the middle of his nap time.
A rough little morning for the little man, and he was pretty cuddly and sleepy for the rest of the day, but he got lots and lots of extra lovin'.
Still can't believe he's old enough for a 12 month check up!
