One year check-up

Jude had his one year check-up day. He does not officially turn one until Saturday.

The check-up went great! The pedi was pleased with how Jude was doing. I told her that he still has sensitive skin, has night terrors, and has the Molluscum that Julia has. I know how to deal with all these issues (Julia has/had all of them), so that was not a big deal.

Jude did break out in a terrible diaper rash today. His poop was just so acidic from eating oranges yesterday that his poor bottom was just raw. He would scream bloody murder every time I tried to wipe his bottom. Yesterday was the first time he has ever had oranges. Pedi said that he is definitely allergic to them and not to give them to him again.

He is growing great. He weighed 22 lbs 13 ozs., which puts him in the 50th percentile. He was 30 inches long (65%) and his head measured 18 3/4 (85%). He dropped a lot on the length chart, according to my records he only grew 1 inch in 3 months. I don't think that is right and he was probably measured wrong. We will see when we go back in 3 months. His weight picked up, but then, he eats CONSTANTLY! He finally has a chubby face and cute chubby legs.

The pedi was impressed that he was speaking sentences already. She told me to just kept doing what I was doing.

Poor Jude did get two shots. He screamed for a few seconds, but then was all grins and smiles while he flirted with the doctor.
