So fun being 1

So a little over a week ago, Jack went in for his 1 year appointment. He weighs 27lbs and is 31 1/2 inches long! He was over the 90th percentile on everything. He is going to be a big boy! He will repeat words that you say to him, even though they sure don't sound perfect! Like glasses sounds like 'ga chise' and duck sounds like 'dak'. He sure is fun and entertaining. When we took him to the doctor, she had told me that the chicken pox vaccine was an option, and it can help them not get as bad of symptoms and sometimes even bypass chicken pox all together. Well, we decided to get it... and then a few days ago he started getting little red bumps all over him. The poor little guy even looked like he got punched in the face! I felt terrible!! They started growing and spreading all over his body... so I thought "this doesn't really look like chicken pox anymore". I called the doctor's office and they told me to put some caladryl lotion on him.. which really helped! After 2 days they finally are totally gone, and I am thinking it was an allergic reaction to something more than the chicken pox. The further along they got, the more I thought they looked more like hives than anything. So it was either something he ate, or maybe he was allergic to the vaccine... hopefully he will stay bump free for awhile though!
