Today Nathan had his 12 month physical at Kaiser. I am happy to report that he was declared to be in "perfect health" and is now 31 inches tall and weighs 24.1 lbs. The downside to being so healthy is that he was cleared to receive 4 shots and have his blood drawn for a complete blood count. The shots weren't so bad, but it was a different story with the blood. I had to hold his little arm down while his blood was drawn...that was a hard thing for me to do since I can't even stand to have my own blood drawn. Nathan cried during the process, but I am happy to say that he recovered very quickly and was his usual happy self by the time we got to the car. As long as Nathan stays healthy, we don't have to go back to the doctor's office for another 6 months. Yay!
Here's a picture of Nathan's left arm. You can kind of see the bruise from the needle. What a brave little guy.
