Dr. Visit

Connor went in for his 12 month visit today. He was 23lbs 13 oz. which put him in the 50-75th% (he hasn't been in that range since he was born). He was 30 in. tall which also put him in the 50-75th% and his head was still "off the chart" (big brains). He is doing everything he needs to be developmentally and there are no worries. He got the Polio and the Chickenpox vaccines. They are no longer making the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) in separate shots which is ridiculous. They are concerned about people not vaccinating, but they are not giving reasonable options. I think that the current shot schedule is too much, pumping 5-7 different vaccines into little bodies at once because it's "easier" not because it's safe. We try to only give 2 at time and will put the MMR off for probably a year.
