*He had his 12-month appointment today: he weighs 25 pounds 12 ounces (89th percentile), 32 1/2 inches (98th percentile) and 19 inch head (93rd...geesh).
*He is officially forward-facing in his car seat! We love this and so does he.
*He has 8 teeth, but I have a sneaking suspicion that some of his molars aren't too far off.
*We also think he may have a lactose sensitivity. We've already phased out formula and have been transitioning with a free can of Enfamil's next stage stuff. We are going to try whole milk when we get to Washington and just watch him closely.
*Runs everywhere.
*Loves giving hugs! He loves hugging babies, especially his little best friend Rowan. He will randomly walk up to people and hug them.
*Prefers human food off our plates to jar baby food.
*He can climb onto the couch by himself.
*This one is awesome: he understands ledges and gaps. For instance: today we were getting on an elevator and he looked and saw a two-inch gap and refused to walk on it. He leaned forward as far as he could and reached for us. Another: last weekend at the Mosman/Stellmon Christmas party there was a driveway ledge (like an inch) that he wouldn't walk up to. Ha! He'll stand on the ledge of our front door and just whine.
Anyway, we think he's totally awesome and can't believe he is one! Just a reminder, here are some baby shots (when he was brand new and then a week old):
How perfect is that face? I mean, seriously. And here is our stud a year later:
Happy Birthday, goofball!
(Also, I'm not sure why none of his 8 teeth are showing...)
He's gotten so BIG! He's the cutest little boy I know :)
ReplyDeleteLove him! :-)
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!! Love his precious newborn pics! xo
ReplyDeleteHuman food.. hee hee That's funny.
ReplyDeleteWait a minute, YOU two have a tall baby? How weird... :)
Gabe loves that toddler vanilla formula. It's expensive but we use it so rarely that it is worth it. And he also had lactose issues and was on soy formula forever. But now he drinks milk just fine but I admit I don't give him a lot of milk. Like a whole sippy cup a day. His grandma gave him a whole bowl of ice cream over the weekend and the poor guy was crapping up a storm for a day and a half. TMI? oops.
