First Official Doctors Visit

Today was Ian's first official visit with Dr. Sood. He saw him last Friday, but that was for a cold. Today was the real evaluation.

Dr. Sood said that he is "stunningly handsome." Mommy and Daddy already knew that, but it was nice to hear. Ian did OK. He doesn't like to lie down on the exam table. So, for Dr. Sood to examine him that was bit of a chore. He is behind in a couple of shots, so he had to get two shots today and have some blood drawn. That was tramautic...more so for Mommy and Daddy probably.

Dr. Sood said that he is probably about 9-10 months developmentally. Which is pretty much where we thought he'd be. Actually, that's a little better than we thought he'd be. We can already tell a difference in the things he's doing. Still has a temper though.

He weighs 18.4 pounds and is 29 inches long. He's on the 5th percentile as far as weight goes, but Dr. Sood is not concerned about that at all since the charts are made for American kids. He is in the 75th percentile for his height. So...maybe a tall, skinny boy...who knows. His head circumference is still the same as it was when we left India. We go back to the doctor in 6 weeks for more shots and a check up.

He's a good boy. He fussed while we were at the doctors office, but then power napped on the way home. He's playing with Daddy right now and I can hear him giggling. Daddy goes back to work on Monday, so they both need this time together.

Tomorrow, his friend Ryan is coming over to visit. Ryan turned one today. He was napping when we called to wish him a happy birthday. We'll have to tell him in person tomorrow. Speaking of birthday's....Ian's first birthday is only 16 days away. Mommy needs to get started planning.

More updates as we can....
