This is a bit late and out of order, but we had Britt's 1 year old check up on April 2. Here are his official stats (watch out future college recruiters):
Height : 27 3/4 inches (25th percentile, woop woop, back in the black!)
Weight : 21 lbs 2 oz (30the percentile)
Head : I forget the actual measurement but it was the 70th percentile
He is completely weaned from nursing and a bottle as of Saturday April 3 and is currently drinking 16-20 oz of whole milk from the sippy cup. I think he would have taken whole milk a long time ago, because he cannot get enough...he LOVES it! This also triggered him to start sleeping through the night after only one cry it out (CIO) night. We had tried it before while he was still nursing, but I don't think he was really ready until we dropped all of them. He even did great with the time change in Hawaii. I, however, had a very hard time (physically) stopping but am finally back to normal. Let's just say the last few weeks have been worse than recovering from a C section. Great timing for Hawaii Brooke!
Some other interesting info:
- He is in love with all fruits (apples, strawberries, bananas, grapes), so he gets those diced usually twice a day
- We discovered Pasta Pick Ups (Gerber) that have become a staple as well. I like them too...
- We tried peanut butter and he really like it. Thank goodness, makes future school lunches much easier
- He is at about 75% full speed running around the house. Crawling usually only happens when Da da is playing chase
- His new words are "Duck" "Dog" and "Go". The first two kind of sound alike so it's hard to tell. We practice a ton of other words (or at least I repeat them over and over), but he started saying "Go go go" out of the blue in the car one day.
- He knows "Where's your head?" and "Where are your ears?", and it's one of my favorite games with him. He loved banging himself in the head when I ask.
- His new favorite song is "Open, Shut Them" which we learned at the library. He does the hand motions for most of the song when we sing it.
- He's in love with his new slide he got for his bday (video to come soon), but he still (amazingly) had no concept that he cannot walk straight off the top of it. Needless to say I created a lot more work for Justin and I. We keep moving it around, and it now resides in the office so that he cannot get on it when I'm attempting to get some work done.
- He swam in the ocean for the first time in Hawaii (pics to come), which was pretty darn chilly, but he LOVED it!
I'll add to this list as I remember, so check back later too. Also, I can't transfer pics right now because my USB stick is not working and I have yet to make it to Target this week. I have tons of birthday and Hawaii pics to post, so I'm hoping to get to that later in the week.
I think that sums up one GREAT YEAR!
Our little family celebration on his actual birthday:
