Plumping-Up Program

Caden had his 12 month well-baby Dr. appt. yesterday. He has a very good memory, especially when it comes to the Dr.'s office. He was fine in the waiting room but started getting anxious when we went into the room. Then when I put him on the bed to try to get him undressed, he just started crying. He was fine as long as I was holding him. I had to peel him off of me for the examination. Of course, the shots weren't fun either! Here are the stats:

Weight: 18 lbs. 14 oz.

Height: 29.75 in.

As you can see...he hasn't grown a whole lot in the past 3 months. I'm really trying not to worry...but worrying runs in the family. He has an appt. on April 10th for a weight check again. So, for the next 3 weeks, he's on a plumping-up program! He's such an active little guy, which I'm sure is part of it. Well...wish us luck!

Other Caden info:

- he's working on 12 teeth

- he makes this really cute wrinkly face and turns his hands upward like he asking "What's going on?"

- he loves to make this "cheesy" smile where he shows all his teeth and his cheeks make his eyes disappear

- he points to everything, especially new things like his ceiling fan in his room (thanks Ali!)

- he grunts when he tries to pick heavier things up like his toy bin or a basket (reminds me of my friend Jen's little boy)

- he likes to push things while on his knees

- he literally turns up his nose, turns his head, and makes a face when he doesn't want to eat something

- he's been skipping his afternoon naps, but he doesn't cry...just plays and babbles
