Aiden had his one year checkup today at the doctor’s office. All is still well.
Dr. Dedman told us that we can upgrade to whole cow milk. Aiden will probably love that stuff. Plus, it’s a ton cheaper than the formula! 
He has also thinned out a bit. His height is now in the 40th percentile (previously 25), and his weight is in the 70th (previously 80). He weight 24 pounds 8 ounces and is 29 inches tall. We were a bit worried that he was on the heavy side, so this is good news.
He got a slew of shots, against our initial goal. This makes the fourth round of the pertussin shot, a chickenpox vaccine, and his first DTaP shot. We still skipped the polio shot. It is very interesting how different doctors recommend different immunizations–Dr. Dedman strongly recommended ALL vaccines, while Dr. Wampler implied that some of them aren’t as important. My brain knows that studies find no correlation between vaccines and Autism, but it’s hard to pump him full of that stuff. And he is so pitiful, crying on the table, with nurses jabbing needles into him. I think it really does hurt me more than him.
They also pricked his finger to take a blood sample. He didn’t like that much, either. But he did get some super-cool cartoon bandaids (that he almost ate once they came off).
