Whiz Kid

We just returned from William's 9 month-old pediatrician's appointment. After a 40 minute wait, we finally met with the nurse practitioner. She went through the usual verbal checklist, then asked me to lay him down on the table.

As she was examining his privates, he decided to pee all over her hands. Perhaps it was a preemptive attempt to ward off the two shots and toe prick he was to receive later. Thankfully, she was a good sport and had a sink within easy reach.

As for the numbers, William weighed in at 22 lbs. and 10 oz. and measured 30 inches in length, considerably lighter and shorter than I had expected, but still quite a load to carry.

Wow, he's a big boy! At my son's one-year check-up, he weighed about the same as William - and I will agree, that is quite a load to carry. . .I hope, for your arms' sake, that you lose the bet to your husband and William is walking by the time he turns one!
