Nathaniel had his next big appt - his one year appt. He of course got more shots. 

 

 

Side note: They have a chicken pox vaccine.  I told Kevin those must be pretty new since we didn't get those.  The nurse then said she got one. That is when I realized she must think we're old.

 

Ok, back to the appt. He seemed to rebound well from the shots and didn't cry for very long. He was back to his happy self pretty quickly. We even went out for dinner afterwards at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel with Kevin's parents for their last night in Nashville. Nathaniel had to get his iron levels tested again since they were low last time. This time he met the min. requirement so we can stop giving him the vitamins with extra iron. I was happy his level went back up. He didn't like the finger prick and the blood collection very much. I played the Hot Dog song from the Mickey Mouse clubhouse on my iPhone and the whole world got a little brighter :) 

They performed an eye test. It was this weird camera looking thing that had bird sounds so that he would look straight into the machine. They measure a few things and look for disease or something (I'm not entirely sure what it all covered), but I do know everything came back looking good. If I remember I am going to ask for the details at the next appt. just for my own curiosity. Usually I'm better about getting all the details, but just wasn't on my game I guess!

The rest of the appt was pretty standard and everything looked great. Yay!

 

 

I was thinking back to our very first appt with him. We were so tired and so new to everything - it was a blur. He seemed so fragile. I shed some tears when he got his first shots (now I'm a trooper and I look away and just cringe). Those big tears, that I rarely see, make me so sad. It is crazy that it has been a year and how much more confident we are as parents and how *not* confident we are for the next year :)
