Happy Birthday To Me!!!!

Well, do I look different to you? I should because today I turned ONE YEAR OLD!!!! I am such a big boy now. These pictures are from this morning when Mommy and Daddy came into my bedroom singing Happy Birthday Dear Eli....... I had no idea what was going on, but it was fun! Daddy and Mommy sang Happy Birthday again when the clock hit 12:02 pm. I am officially one year old now!

After eating breakfast, Daddy, Mommy and me went to the doctors office for my 12 month check-up. It went okay. My new stats: my weight is 23 lbs 1.5 oz (50%), height is 31 inches (75%) and my head is 46 1/2 cm (50%)!! Basically everything is perfect and the doctor said that I am growing like a champ. Compared to other babies my age my head is average, but because I am so tall, that makes me a little thinner than most babies my age. But, I think I'm pretty perfect.

The only bad thing was that the Doctor looked in my ears and she said that I have liquid behind my ear drums. She brought in a special machine that tested my ear drum activity due to the liquid and the Doctor said my left ear drum is not working all the way due to the pressure. So, that means I have to go back in 6 weeks for another check-up to make sure that the liquid isn't causing hearing problems.

After my check-up I got my shots and I cried really hard.... I've never cried for shots before,but the doctor said these are different and the medicine makes it sting. But, it was worth it because I got an Incredible Hulk sticker!! (Another thing my Doctor said was that because I was so active, she looked and Mommy and said, "He looks like a trouble maker!" Mommy and Daddy agreed. That just means that I'm good at my job!

This is a picture of me when I was less than an hour old and the one below is exactly on year later! Do I look different??
