Hey little one year old!!!! Things have calmed down after the excitement of your birthday parties and we are still trying to get our house back in order... Basically our living room is nothing but your play room; your toys are everywhere. If we try and clean up, you just waddle over to your toy box and pull the toys out for yourself. So basically we just have accepted that this house is no longer ours.... It belongs to you!

We had your twelve month appointment on Wednesday... We are not very happy with how it went though. You are 31 inches in length which is in the 90th percentile for height but your weight has remained the same for six months...putting you in 6th percentile for it. The dr was not very pleased with that; he said if you still haven't gained weight at your 15 month check up, we will have to meet with a specialist. We have been trying our hardest to get you to eat...we have been introducing more and more regular food, but you are putting up one heck of a fight...you just want your baby food. We have discovered that you are in love with waffles and Oreos though. :) You will eat those without a problem at all... You'll eat a few bites of chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese but then you are done with it and want your Gerber foods. We will keep trying though because obviously the baby food is not enough calories for you anymore. Everything else with the appointment went great though...your head and everything is growing fine so he knows you are not malnourished or anything like that's...just tall and skinny! Hmmm....wonder why!?!? Passed all your milestones...plus some! We had met with the ent a few weeks a go and they suggested a two month observation and we will go back in march and chances are we will have to schedule tubes and also removal of your adenoids...dr parr agreed that would probably be best for you with your snoring, your restless sleeping, your ear infections, etc. I really really really hope we don't have to! The thought of you under anesthesia with a breathing tube is almost too much to think about.

Immunizations. I absolutely hate them. This was an appointment where you had to get four...and one of them was the dreaded MMR. That is the one that' people claim causes autism. I said so many prayers and the dr promised me that is nothing but a silly fear....he stated there's absolutely no link between the two...I Pray he's right. Of course I made your daddy be the bad guy again...he stood up by your head and tried to comfort you during the shots. You cried and cried... :( Mama loved on you as soon as they were over though.

We were working on blowing kisses tonight...it was the cutest thing ever though.... You can not fully grasp the econcept. Is would put my hand up to my mouth and blow a kiss and you would cover your eyes and say muah!! Then you'd put it on your forehead and say muah. Haha, oh lathan! Could you be any cuter!?!
