12-Month Milestones & Pictures

We had CJ's 12-month well baby visit with the pediatrician yesterday. It was the easiest visit yet (except for the 3 shots)! CJ weighs 21 lbs 5 oz, up from 18 lbs 9 oz at 9 months, and now up a notch to the 25th percentile instead of the 10th. He grew 1" to 30.5", and is now in the 50th percentile for height (instead of the 75th). His head measures 19cm (still in the 90th percentile).

The doctor said CJ looks pretty perfect and to start moving him to regular milk, from a sippy cup, and to get off the bottle and that he can eat anything you can mash with your finger (other than peanut butter), so no hard veggies.

That was about it - oh and CJ loved the giant goldfish in the waiting room. We may have to invest in a fish tank!

In the last 3 months, CJ's big accomplishments have been walking--and running! Whenever we're outside now, he hates to be held. He just wants to walk around and explore on his own. He also now says momma, dadda, hi, hello (which sounds like "ow-oh"), ouch, and all done (which sounds like "ah-dah"). He also now knows certain objects if we tell him to go get them, especially Hippo and ball.
