Noah's One Year Appointment

Noah had his one-year appointment yesterday. Thankfully, he is a happy and healthy boy! He is growing like a weed and maintaining the 90th percentile in both height and head circumference, while managing a good 50th percentile on his weight. He's reaching all the necessary milestones at a great pace and was such a trooper during his shots! The doctor loved how he mimicked her every move, sound, and laugh. He was such a talker when she was in the room and tried to take over the stethoscope and every other tool! Sophie was a great big sister and sat quietly while he was being examined. I could tell it was hard for her to watch Noah get his shots and while Noah was crying, I heard her quietly say, "It's o.k. Bubba."

Noah has fully transitioned to whole milk and a sippy cup. The rest of the family drinks nonfat milk and this morning I was so tired I accidentally poured whole milk in my cereal. I instantly realized it when my cereal was a little "thicker" than usual! Anyway, he is doing awesome with feeding himself (finger foods only so far) and has even transitioned to one nap a day. It's a nice and lengthy one nap, so he's doing very well! I have to say it was much easier to transition the second time around!
