His 10 month check up today, and he weighed in at 24.5lbs, 30inches long. That's 94th & 93rd percentiles, respectively. Still a big kid, but leaning out a tad with all the exercise he's been getting in.
We mentioned to the doc during our last visit that we thought Vansen had some kind of allergic reaction, but we couldn't identify what he was allergic to. We still haven't figured it out, she she sent us for a blood test to check out all the usual suspects. It took both of us to hold him down and still while the not-super-friendly phlebologist drew THREE vials of blood. Thankfully it only took one stick, but Vansen did not like it at all. The screaming. The tears. Oh my.
The look on the face of the lady in the waiting room holding her 9month old, waiting for their turn, was one of apprehension bordering on terror.
aw man. that stinks. what makes you think he has an allergy? poor baby.
ReplyDeleteHe got a little hivey/rashy one day and it lasted a few days. Doc says that 75% of the time no one every figures out what it was, but we did kind of half-heartedly tried to isolate new foods. We think we have it narrowed down to yogurt and/or strawberries, but we really don't know and don't know if it will happen again or if it's just that one time. Hopefully blood test will shed some light
