12 Month Stats

Yesterday we finally made it to Bo's one year checkup! With the new job and change of insurance we had to postpone for a week. He got a great checkup, the doctor said he is right on track!

I did have a few "silly" mom questions like..."He's SOOO much more active than any of his friends could he be ADHD?" I have to admit I've wondered this more than a few times...he does not sit still, he's constantly into something. All I have to compare him too are his little friends and he must have just made mild mannered friends because none of them (and two are boys) are as active as he is. The doctor just laughed and said 1-He's a boy and he's ALL boy at that, they tend to be much more active and 2-You have a toddler, this takes it to a whole new level. So I did feel a little better.

My next question was about his eating...he eats so much!! Again, all I have are his friends to compare him too, but while at lunch his friends might just nibble on some fruit or puffs, while I'm ordering an entire meal for Bo. Ordering for him goes like this "I need a grilled chicken breast, with a side of carrots and broccoli, and also a side of fresh fruit". And he'll eat it all!!!! The doctor thought this was great. And based on his stats he's right on track. Guess I've learned to stop comparing! The doctor did say at this point we'll see him growing taller not wider! Which you do, his height is off the chart!

Weight: somewhere between 24-26 lbs...

he wouldn't sit still for them to get his weight

so they made me get on the scale

(just what I wanted to do) and weighed me with him.

This puts him in the 50-75%.

Height: 32.5 in (>95%)...I think he's definitely taking after daddy!
