One Year Appointment

Hanging out with dad before bed.

Playing in his bedroom. You can see all of his band-aids in this picture and the next one.

Painting with Christmas colors today.

Playing outside yesterday. It was over 50 degrees so we figured we should get in another afternoon of playing outside.

Oliver had his one year appointment today. He is 29.75 inches tall (44th percentile) and weighed 20 lbs, 7.5 oz (16th percentile). His weight actually went down since I had him weighed at 11 months. The doctor said it could be some due to different scales, but she didn't seem too concerned with it. She said he is still a healthy weight. His head circumference is 18.46 inches (65th percentile). The doctor said he is doing really well.

He had to get 6 shots today :( He did really well with them as he has in the past. He cries while he is getting the shots, but as soon as one of us pick him up, he calms right down. He even smiled at the nurse who gave him the shots when she left the room.

Today Oliver did some painting. He liked squishing the paint in his hands. He is doing more and more everyday. He has been having lots of fun with his new birthday toys. Here are some of the things this one-year-old of ours can do:

• wave hi and bye
• shake his head yes and no appropriately
  
• blow kisses
• play patty cake
• play peek-a-boo
• walk all over
• crawl up the stairs
• pick up pieces of food and feed himself
• make lots of babbling sounds
• find his nose sometimes and find other people's noses
• more and more everyday

Happy Wednesday!
