12 Month Check-up

Roman had his 12 month well baby visit today. Percentiles were great.
Height-30.5'' ~74%~
Weight- 23lbs ~54%~
head circumference- 18.3" ~54%~
The shots about killed both of us! Do they get worse every time? He screamed harder than ever before. He started holding his breath to the point he almost passed out. My heart panicked when I realized he wasn't taking a breath. We've had a few of these "breath holding spells" where he's passed out before. One that even caused a possible seizure like episode. So scary. Thankfully, blowing in his mouth got him to breathe before he passed out this time. I know immunizing is best for him. I just hate it.

We're in need of a new car seat. Lots to look for and consider. Any suggestions?

Ohhh, sorry buddy! Poor Rome. (and Sienna) I totally think it gets worse every time. When Drew got his flu shot this season it was worse than any shot I ever remember him getting. He hadn't had a shot since he was 18 months old, so he had no idea what was coming and it SUCKED!!! You would think as they get older it would be a little less painful cuz they've got a little more than just skin and bone too bad that's not the case.
Love you Rome!

They might all come this way now, but we always chose one that had a five point harness.

you should do what I've done. Cruise always had bad reactions, so I wouldn't get all the shots at once. I'd get him two at a time every months or more, depending on the type of shot. It helped quite a bit and he never reacted adversely after that.

p.s. Cruise reacted bad to rotavirus, so i stopped getting it.
