1 Year Check Up

On Tuesday, January 23rd I took Caden for his 1 year check up. He did great despite the fact that we had to wait over an hour to see the doctor. It is a lot harder to keep him occupied while we wait then it used to be. He weighed 23 lbs 2 oz., which is in the 52nd %. His head circumference was 19", which is in the 72nd%. He is 30 1/4" long, which is in the 64th %. The doctor joked that he was going to be very smart since his highest percentile is for his head! His percentiles kinda surprised me because to me he seems very chubby, but actually he is quite average.

Some things that he's up to lately:

* Standing Unsupported and clapping for himself

*Giving High 5's

*Exploring anything and everything that is in his reach

*Making "motor boat" noises with his mouth

*Taking his hands across his lips while making sounds

*Learning to drink milk from a sippy cup

*Eating very little baby food

*Loves chicken parm, but will eat ANYTHING. We have yet to find anything that he doesn't like!

Here's an adorable picture that we took of him on the night of his birthday while he was opening gifts from his Daddy and Mommy.
