One year stats

Eli just had his visit yesterday with the doctor for his one year exam and has been pronounced a healthy happy baby. (We already knew that). He weighed in at 23 lbs 10 oz... I thought he would have weighed more since he feels heaver than Lydia to me, but guess not. For weight he was in the 60% (down from before but DR. said he looks great). His height is 30 1/2 inches and is in the 89% for height (Daddy's genes). He was a real trooper for his shots too. One little cry and then he was good.

Now for the bad news. Eli has no enamal on his front teeth and will have to undergo sedation to get caps put on 6 of his front teeth. While under general anestesia he will also have x-rays, teeth cleaning, and polishing. We had already been to a pediatric dentist, but the Pediatrician confirmed that yes it was necessiary. Boo! So as of right now he will be having his procedure done on the 9th of December. Please keep him and us in your thoughts and prayers that day. There is some good news with this. Usually this only effects either the front teeth or the back teeth, so he shouldn't have to have this done again when all his other teeth come in. Rarely does it effect the adult teeth too, so that's good.

Today Eli is recovering from his vaccines and a bug he picked up at the Ped's office (vommiting... poor guy). So hopefully this weekend we will be back to normal so that he can celebrate my birthday dinner with us and Grammy (Grammy is taking me out... how nice!).
