Jack's One Year Checkup...

Jack had his 1 year checkup with the doctor on Monday. Our boy's doing great!! He also had his first birthday party...I'll do a post about that later once I get all the pictures and videos together. I just can't believe he's one! His doctor said I'll be saying that when he's 5, and 10, and 16, and 20..... I guess you never get used to your baby growing up :)

Here's his news stats:
Height: 31" - 75%
Weight: 21 lb 14.5 oz - 25%
Head Circumference: 18" - 50%

Although Jack's not walking yet, the doctor was really impressed with his coordination and balance. When you only have one kid, you think everything they do is normal. I had no idea that balancing on one foot (whild holding on of course) was something I should be impressed about! hahaha

Fun Facts About Jack:
  • He takes a step or two here and there. He also can walk pretty well while holding onto one finger. And he cruises ALL the time!
  • He mimicks us all the time - which is quite hysterical sometimes!
  • Jack eats mostly solid food now. He still has his bottle 4 times a day, but usually only eats a few ounces.
  • Some of his favorite foods include: grapes, oranges, Chicken Poppyseed Casserole, Chicken Packets, carrots, green peas, black eyed peas
  • Jack's learning how to put shapes in his shape sorter.
  • He loves anything that he can spin.
  • He gets into EVERYTHING!! He's always on the move and loves to open drawers and pull whatever's in them out.
  • He smiles and laughs all the time - he's such a joy in our lives!
  • Jack likes to dance to music.
  • He's starting to jump....sometimes his feet even leave the ground!
  • He's a climber! If there's something he can climb on, he will.
  • He loves to play with balls. He's pretty good at throwing them, too. We'll have to work on catching them, though :)
  • Jack LOVES taking a bath!
  • He also loves to play on our laptops...even if we don't love it! hahaha

We just love our little guy so much and can't imagine what our lives would look like without him!
