Today we went to the doctor for Jack's 1-year checkup. All is great....mommy thought he had an ear infection but naaahhh, must be teething. Jack has 4 teeth now and 2 more coming in any day! He was a big boy and got FOUR shots - ouch! The doctor was happy with everything and just wants him to drink more whole milk so he can grow big and strong...he's now UNDER 5 percentile in weight - yikes! But we reviewed his diet and he's eating alot so he just burns a ton of calories climbing all those stairs!
Height - 29 3/4" = 50 percentile
Weight - 18lbs 6.5 oz = less then 5 percentile
Head - 47.6 cm = 75-90 percentile
Some milestones we reviewed with the doctor - Baby Jack is saying DaDa and Doo-Doo (for Doodles) and recently started mama (but maybe I'm just being wishful). He is climbing stairs and cruising and almost letting go to walk on his own. He drinks from his sippy cup and eats all kinds of foods....even shellfish - much to the dismay of the doc. Oh well, how can he not have crab and shrimp when you live in MD???? - we'll stay away from the peanuts until he's 2:)
Baby Jack loves reading books and putting things in and out of boxes. He has a favorite cabinet in the kitchen where I store all the plastic bottles - he can sit on the floor and pull them all out and put them back:) His most favorite thing right now is turning light switches on and off...he could do that for HOURS - I'm not joking! And he loves to crawl into a room and close the door on mommy and daddy!
At school he is now sleeping on a cot all by himself and his teachers are really happy with how he is interacting so well with his friends...a few biting incidents, but we got some good ideas from the doctor today, so we'll try them out and see what happens.
Next appointment @ 15 months!
