One Year Appointment

Gus took Nikos to his one year well-baby appointment today, and it went great! I can't really afford to take the time off of work right now, since I am already really low on sick days (which I'll need for maternity leave). So Daddy flew solo, and had no problems! Nikos weighed in at 22 lbs, 2 oz (just under the 50th percentile) and measured 30.25 inches long (65th percentile). He's starting to stretch out!! He's nearly 11 inches taller than he was when he was born-- it's so hard to believe that he was ever that tiny! Anyhow, he had four shots, and took them like a real trooper. He's been his normal happy self all afternoon-- no reactions whatsoever, which is excellent news! :)

In other excellent (but otherwise completely unrelated) news... The Phillies won the World Series tonight! Not like we are big Phillies fans or anything (or even baseball fans, for that matter), but this is special because their star pitcher's mother has been my classroom aide for the past three years. My students have all been following the series with great enthusiasm because they feel like the "know" a celebrity. So it's really great that they were able to win their first title in decades. Go Phillies! :)
