Spencey had his 1 year check up last week and everything looks great! He’s a big boy – but mainly in height! He’s tall at 31.5 inches which is in the 95th to 98th % (Maxwell was 30 inches). He’s 23 lbs, 12 oz (Maxwell was 21 lbs, 12 oz) and has a head circumference of 18 (Maxwell’s was 19.25). Both weight and head are in the 75th to 95th %. We got the ok to start going forward with whole milk to I’m going so start giving him cow’s milk at night in a bottle and in a sippy cup during the day (I think). I’m going to try to keep him going on a pumped bottle in the morning.
Looking back at Maxwell’s 1 year checkup just reminds me what an easy baby Spencer is. Maxwell was a little challenging during his visit at 1 but Spencey just smiled happily the whole time…and did quite a bit of chewing on Dr. Walley’s stethoscope! But, no tears except for when he had to get shots and those tears only lasted a minute. I love this baby.
I’ll tell you one thing though – trying to entertain this wiggle worm in a doctor’s office is no small feat! I finally pulled out my iphone and videos of Elmo kept him pretty occupied for a while – yay for Sesame Street!
Checking out the waiting room…
Destroying the table paper…
and being cute!
In other terribly exciting news, Maxwell went to the dentist last week! He did great and let the hygienist clean his teeth and even take x-rays with no complaining! yay! Dr. Johnson said his teeth look great but they did mention we should really focus on flossing because his teeth are very tight and close together. Ummm…flossing a 3 year old’s teeth isn’t exactly easy even with the handled flossers but we’ll give it our best shot!
Yay for healthy babies, healthy teeth, and good doctor reports all around!
Love good doctor’s reports! Healthy little boys!
Yay for good reports! I can tell you flossing a four year old isn’t any easier! Good luck.
Healthy and happy going into the holiday season. Hope we’re the same way coming out!
You can’t ask for much better!!
