So, my little Daners had his 12 month appt. last week, which also ended up being a follow up from his ear infection. He has had back to back ear infections over the past month or so and the doctor said that if he gets one more in the next 3 weeks then it is time for tubes. My dad thinks that it is cruel and unusual punishment to wait for him to get another one and experience that excruciating pain again. Granted he is speaking from what he did with us as kids and when getting tubes was what everyone did in the 80's. I do know that he has his grandson's best intentions in mind and I love him so much for caring, but I can't help feel like I am a bad mom! However, I want to trust my pediatrician's judgement. So, I guess I will just see how he does and hopefully he will be just fine.At Dane's appointment you would never guess that he has been so sick lately. He was a little chatter box and showing off all of his tricks! He was clapping, waving, talking, blowing kisses, giving high fives, and just flirting with her like crazy! He is such a crack-up! I love his silly little personality! She checked his ears, lungs, nose, etc. and everything looked great!
As far as his development goes, everything was right where he needs to be except for something very shocking...his WEIGHT and I am not talking about him being over weight...he is UNDER weight!!! He is in the 37%...I can't believe that! He seems so chunky to me! I really don't usually get all worked up about the % thing because as long as he is healthy that is all that matters, but that stat really shocked me! Anyway, the doctor said that he is just fine and not to worry, which I am not, I just found that very interesting. As soon as he starts walking he will thin out anyway, but I must have mommy blinders on or something because he is my CHUNKY MONKEY at least for now regardless of any %:)
Here are his stats:
Here are his stats:- Weight: 37%...so weird!
- Length: 50%
- Head: 69%
He is starting to turn into a little boy over night! He LOVES to play/tease Logan, which is so funny to watch! He loves to graze in his high chair, play with balls, watch Yo Gabba Gabba, balloons, read books, sing songs, give kisses, and be silly! I love this little guy soooo much!
