1-Year Stats

Ty had his 1-year checkup (and those yucky shots) this morning. And he's doing just fine.

It seems that the last few times we've gone to the doctor's office, someone (usually the nurse) has commented on what a big baby Tyler is. I was always surprised that he was fairly average when they did his measurements. They way they sounded, he was off the growth charts.

I had a retort planned for this visit. I was going to say, "Really? If I were 5'4" and 130 pounds, would you still think he looks huge?" I really think he just looks big because I'm so ridiculously tiny. But I didn't get the opportunity to say anything. I probably would've chickened out anyway.

Here are his measurements from all of his appointments. He's gained almost 16 pounds in a year and he's grown almost 10 inches!
