13 month stats

We had Elijah's 1 year appt today and all is well. He went through a growth spurt since he was last there. Weighed in at 21 lbs 5 oz, up from just under 17 lbs . I didn't see his length but he's in the 50th percentile for that. All I know is that he is now tall enough to pull things off the console table, get into the drawers, touch the buttons on the cable box and pull things off of the counter in the kitchen. Yes yes, my day is hectic chasing him around but it's great. He had to get some shots, did great with the first one, cried for the 2nd and 3rd but was his complete self at lunch throwing food on the floor for Charlie and running around the house. He's up to taking 11 steps by himself. He'll walk all over holding onto a finger. And you better not be in his way when he's behind his push walkers because he will literally run you down with a devilish grin on his face. His newest thing to do is give kisses.

I gave him applesauce the other day for a snack. Apparently it tasted very good since he tried to lick the bowl clean.
