Well, now that Patton's almost 14 months old, I suppose I should update you all on how he's doing. I'm so behind! But I have a good excuse. See my below post! haha! Here are his stats from his 12 months appointment:
Height: 30.6 inches (75th percentile)
Weight: 20 lbs, 15.8 oz (25th percentile)
Head circumference: 18.25 inches (50th percentile)
He's still tall and thin! And now that he's walking, he doesn't have any fat rolls on him at all. He's very lean, and he doesn't really look like a baby anymore! When did my baby become a toddler? I swear someone turned him into a toddler one night while he was sleeping.
Other things about Lil P:
* He currently has 11 teeth, and is getting his 12th right now. He just got 3 molar teeth this last week. His teeth all tend to come in together (thank goodness!). It's kinda nice that way!
*He's already had 3 hair cuts, and will be getting another one tonight. His hair grows super fast!
Favorite foods:
strawberries, avocadoes, grapefruits (it's absolutely true!), oranges, bread, cottage cheese, anything he can feed himself. He's an independent eater and doesn't like us to feed him.
Favorite things:
* Play with blocks and Legos
* Play on Mommy's piano
*Put lids on any containers
*Put anything in containers
*Play in trashcans (we're working on getting him to stop this one!)
*Wave and talk to anyone he sees
*He LOVES to be a helper to Mommy- unloading dishes, starting the dryer, turning off the lights
*When Daddy comes home
*Going for walks
*Playing with his best friend, Franklin the cat
*Playing on the computer or Mommy's cell phone (especially when we're not watching)
Words he can say:
Dada
Mama
nana (for banana)
sh (for shoes)
s (strawberries)
dis (what's this)
dat (what's that)
Things he doesn't like:
* Not seeing what's going on or what we're doing
*Being left alone
*Getting his nails clipped
I think that's it! He's such a happy little guy, and we absolutely gobble him up! :)
