Axel had his 1 year check up last Monday. He had to get 3 shots. OK I'm going to get on my soap box little for a moment-I HATE that they pin my kid down to give him shots. He turns red, his legs are pinned to the table and he just looks at me like Mom what are you letting them do to me!? Where I work (Pediatrics inpatient) we have some thing called comfort holds!!! Which allows the child to still be in their parent's arms and safely be able to give them a shot. I asked the nurse about comfort holds and she told me that he was to little-WHATEVER!!! Lame, I know that we use them on kiddo's his age. Next time I'm going to be crazy mom who demands that he doesn't get pinned to the table. Grrr.... (maybe I'm over reacting, but I did not like how it was done!)
Okay, I'm stepping off of my soapbox now. Axel checked out great! He's getting another tooth so he's been drooling and has a runny nose. He has been pretty healthy this year, besides a few colds. So that is pretty sweet! Axel weighed 18 lbs and 12 oz and was 28inches long. He's little but very proportionate. He is like at the 2% for weight and 11% for height. He keeps growing, just slowly. He's a great eater so we'll just have to keep offering him good fatty foods! No more problems with the milk, he drinks whole milk like a champ!
Oh..we started a new daycare last week. Axel was at a center but now he's at a home daycare. He's teachers name is Cassie and Axel seems to be doing really well. The two youngest kids at the daycare are boys who are close to his age so he will have a few new buddies to get to know. Daycare is such a stressful decision.... but it's good. (I'll leave it at that or I could go on forever!!!)
Axel is getting so mobile. He walks along every thing and loves to climb up and down the stairs-over and over again! I took down the gate the other week because he is SO interested in any thing that he knows he shouldn't get into. When I showed him the open stairs he crawled to them and turned around right away to go down! It's crazy how smart they are. So now each night we have stair time. It makes me a little nervous that he brings his blanket with him, but I keep a close eye on things. He is so much fun!! Man I'm a sucker for him!! We had pictures taken again from Jess last week. I can't wait to share them with every one!!

yes- more Jes pictures! I can't wait to see them too- make sure you send out the link so I can take a peek! What a little peanut Axel is-- I'm sure he'll spurt up soon! And I agree with the shots-- it sucks how they hold them down with their body.. at least most of the shots are behind us now! You'll have to fill me in on your daycare deal next time I see you.
