We went to the doctor for Justin's one year appointment yesterday. He is up to 14 pounds, 4 ounces and he is 27 1/2 inches long. So good for him! That means he is at about the 5th% for weight and 25th% for length (on the DS chart). The doctor was pleased with his progress. Travis is at the lower end of charts too, so we don't expect Justin to be a giant by any means!
We discussed what he can do, and she was very enthusiastic about his physical ability. She asked if he could roll over and sit up and I loved being able to say, "YES!" He is communicating in that he knows to respond to his name and who certain people are. She asked if he raises his arms when he wants to be held. He does that well when he is laying down, but not often while seated. Until this morning! I think he must have heard her because this morning he lifted his arms several times while seated in the bumbo seat or on the floor! And he was so proud of himself that he gave himself several rounds of applause.
She also mentioned that if we can get insurance to approve it, she would like for Justin to receive the synegis shots again this next flu season. We will have to see what happens, but please pray that Justin would get what he needs, whatever it is.
We are going for pictures next week, and I will be sure to share when we get them. We are getting the whole shebang: Justin, Justin and Travis, and the entire family. It will be an interesting session I am sure!

Rylen always seemed to do things right after we got home from his appointments. I wanted to run back and say,"wait, he just did...." Too funny. I'm so glad he is doing well!
