Will's 15 month check-up (2 months late)

Today we went for Will's pediatrician visit which should have taken place a few months ago, but our pediatrician, Laura Harris, was on maternity leave until July and then we just got busy with our summer and travel, etc.  Little Will was very brave and got his MMR shot in the arm -- he only cried for about 30 seconds and then it was like nothing at all had happened.  With all the hype surrounding these vaccinations and the potential link to autism, we had been dreading this visit (or I should say I had been dreading it) but it looks as though all the worry was for not!  Thanks so much to Dr. Harris for explaining things and making us feel so at ease!  On another note....Will's growth stats were:  weight = 30.05 lbs, height = 35 inches which puts him in the 95% percentile for weight and height!! He is a big, growing boy!
