Ok, so I'm a little late getting this post up. We just had a few little things going on. =)Last Tuesday (7.6.10), Cole had his 1 year check up. Here are his stats:
Weight - 25 pounds, 15.5 ounces (90th percentile)
Length - 31 inches (90th percentile)
Head Circumference - 48 cm (90-95th percentile)
Yes, I have another big boy! He is doing great and, based upon the 12 month questionnaire I had to fill out, is developing perfectly. He is doing all the things that a typical 12 month old should do. He got 3 shots and boy did he hate that! Eli went with us since he was home from school and he seemed completely unphased by Cole's crying from the shots. Eli, by the way, weighs 39 pounds!
Over the past month, Cole has started cruising EVERYWHERE. If he has something to hold on to, he is on the move. We have seen him crawl a few "steps" but his preferred method without help is either cruising or scooting. I noticed his poor little ankles look bruised from all the scooting so I hope he gets brave enough to let go and walk soon. He is doing really well with his walker and looks like he is getting close to walking on his own.
Sleeping is great. He's usually good for about 11-11 1/2 hours a night. Which is marvelous! He's so cute to watch in the video monitor because he is all over the crib and doesn't like being covered up. He reminds me of my little brother when he sleeps on him tummy with his butt up in the air (sorry Billy, that's what you get for me being older than you!).
Eating is still a challenge. Cole loves beans - beans of any type. We have decided to cut out yogurt because he had been having tummy issues and every time he spit up, it smelled like yogurt so we gave it a break, reintroduced it and it started happening again. Amazingly, Cole hasn't suffered and has tried a few new things. He's also on whole milk and working on giving up the bottle. We're trying to get to sippy cups during the day and bottle only at bed time. Wish us luck!
He & Eli are so much fun to watch. Cole is starting to look more like Eli; nothing like when Eli was a year old but like Eli looks now. You can definitely tell in their looks and actions that they are brothers. I am so happy to have two such happy and loving boys. Both of them just light up and cheer when I pick them up for school. It doesn't get any better than that!
