To sum up Nickolas's first year, he has been very healthy and wee. He had his one-year visit with the Pediatrician last week and had four shots. We're told he is done with 70 percent of the shots he needs as a child, thank goodness. As always, he handled it better than mommy did and daddy was by his side. Here's a glance at Nickolas's stats for the past year since this blog, more or less, serves as his 'baby book' (percentile out of 100 in parentheses).

We're working on fattening him up a little bit, but of course, at this age, there are too many fun things to do and explore versus sitting still in one's highchair for a meal. And, in case you've noticed the trend, yes, we sometimes have a hard time getting his shirt to fit over that cranium of his! Like father like son.
