This morning Benjamin and I braved the rain for his one year check up.
Here he is post shots and pre shots.
Thank goodness I remembered to bring his music kit!
Benjamin did great! His stats are: 32 inches (97%), 21 pounds (35%), and his head is 47 cm (70%). Things really haven't changed - he is still SUPER long and lean. Benjamin still had no teeth (ha.), wears 3/4 size diapers, and 12/18 month clothes. He is covered in eczema just like his mama was at this age. Benjamin is still taking two naps a day around 45 minutes each. He isn't the best napper and is showing signs of dropping the morning nap. (That will be a sad day.) He is still a champ night sleeper!
This month I have seen a HUGE change in Benjamin!! He is so much happier and independent. I did a "baby boot camp" for a couple of weeks and have seen major changes. He has stopped crying all day and is not needing me to hold/entertain him 24/7. Ben smiles more, explores more, and overall is enjoying life! I am one happy mama!!
LOVES
Clapping. Exploring. Food (Strawberries are his favorite.). Music (listening, dancing, singing, music class). Shaking his head 'no'. Facing forward in his car seat. Window watching. Taking super long naps when Daddy is home. Taking really short naps when Mama is home. Sitting in Mama's lap. Chasing Hank. Cruising. "Talking" to Luke on the phone.
Not A Fan Of
Diaper changes. Facing backwards in the car.
"One hand Mom!"
Benjamin has started cruising holding on by one hand. His mobility has increased over night and is all over the place! I love it!
As I mentioned above, Benjamin has really struggled facing backwards in the car. Will and I decided to flip him once he turned one and he has LOVED it. He now has a great view of everything and tons of leg room.
Benjamin and I at his favorite weekly activity, music class!
Benjamin loves a good swing.
He really enjoys grilling out with his Daddy.
GO ARMY!!
Wow, he sure has grown!
Wow, a year went by so fast!!
