1 year check up

Preston had his one year checkup last week and he weighs 24 lbs. and is 31-1/2 inches long. He is meeting all of his 1-year milestones and got 3 shots. He cried of course but was waving goodbye to all the nurses on the way out. He is super healthy and happy (which we already knew!)

Ok, here are some things Preston can do...

Clap, wave hi/bye, give kisses/hugs, walks holding on, climbs, pulls himself up, dance, hold his bottle, feed himself with his hands, point, throw anything he can get his hands on, he definitely has a funny sense of humor. He loves to laugh and make others laugh. He is doing great at daycare and has made some new friends.

He says or understands mommy/daddy, lights, no (which he just loves, lol), give it to mommy/daddy, ball, door, eyes, ears, nose, more, dogs, binky, ouch, go, bye, hi, up, all done. These are just a sample of what he knows. I am amazed at how much he has grown and understands in the past 3 months.

Preston loves to play ball, read, watch commercials, dump things out and put them back repeatedly, ride is bike, climb on his chair, talk on the phone, go shopping, do puzzles, play with anything that makes noise, climb over anything in his way (even daddy) and he really likes going outside. I'm not even going to list all the food he loves because there are too many. LOL!

We are working on drinking from a sippy cup, trying more table food and walking. We are so happy to have turned the car seat around and we have almost converted from formula to whole milk bottles. Yeah!!!!

As a side note, as I write this we are having our first bout of sickness here. Preston worked up with a fever Friday morning and we were at the doctors by 11. No ear infection thank goodness, just a common cold and some teeth coming in. So lots of fluids and tylenol is all we can do. We think he is feeling better today but we are staying home and just taking it easy. We made it 1 week over a full year without any sickness so I guess it was just a matter of time. Going to the doctor last week for his checkup jinxed us!
