Joseph finally had his one-year checkup this week and his vital stats came in as follows:

Weight: 20 lbs., 6 oz.

Length: 30 in.

Head circumference: 47 cm.

Everything seems to be tracking fairly well: his length comes in right around the fiftieth percentile for kids his age; weight was a bit low—about the twenty-fifth percentile—but we think the scale might be a little off. It’s certainly evident just from looking at him that he’s not starving to death, and picking him up closes the deal.

Next up: Joseph’s fifteen-month checkup and Julia’s three-year checkup, both in August. Shots all around.
