Dexter's Official ONE YEAR Stats

Dexter is a very healthy baby. Er, toddler. Or something.

Weight: 26.6 pounds (91st %ile)
Height: 34 inches (99th %ile - actually WAY above the curves on the graphs)
Head circumference: 18.75 inches (83rd %ile)

He got his MMR vaccine today, and another dose of the Polio vaccine. The MMR is a pretty nasty shot, as these go, and he certainly let us know he did NOT approve. Our worst shot experience yet, but he still only cried (ok, screamed) for 2-3 minutes. His mom cried a little longer than that. He also got a little finger stick to test his iron and lead levels (great on both counts).

No big shocks otherwise. Gross motor development is excellent. Fine motor is right on track. Verbal is slightly behind the curve, but nothing to be concerned about yet, since he's still making progress (increasingly sophisticated babbling, understands us, follows directions, tries to communicate, mimics actions, etc.).
