1-Year Check-Up

H and B had their 1-year check-up yesterday. I still can’t believe they are a year old! Time has flown by and they are getting too big. They’ll be in kindergarten before I know it. I’m thrilled they can start drinking whole milk now. Haven’t given it to them yet. I will today and pray they can’t tell the difference.

Here are their stats:

Hudson:
Height- 30.75 in. (80th percentile)
Weight- 20 lbs. 7 oz. (20th percentile)
HC- 18.25 in. (50th percentile)

Brayden:
Height- 28.75 in. (25th percentile)
Weight- 18 lbs. 10 oz. (5th percentile)
HC- 17.1 in (doc didn’t write it down- let’s just say it was low)

Editor’s note: Brayden has been sick for a week and lost some weight due to this loss of appetite. Doctor isn’t worried. He said he’ll gain it back and catch up to Hudson sometime. He’s my little munchkin!

They both got 5 shots each! Yuck! But thy both did really well- which is good since it was just me with them at the appointment. They don’t go back until they are 18 months so they’ll get some time off from more shots.

So, what’s new with the boys?
Huds: he can almost climb up onto the couch by himself—which scares me half to death. He runs pretty fast. He can figure out toys meant for 18 month old in 1 minute flat. He loves to climb into his toy chest and just sit there. Loves his picture taken—he’ll smile for you. Points to things now—especially balloons and Titus. Can give you a high-five. Claps and waves. LOVES hide and seek! Can play really well by himself and also with his brother. Sometimes gets really upset when you leave the room.

Brayden: he walks really, really well now. Just this morning I saw him stand without using anything to pull up with. Loves balls. He’s learning to throw a ball right now. Also loves to point at things—especially ceiling fans and lights. Loves his outdoor swing. Likes to rock himself in his rocking chair. Hordes all the pacifiers he can find. Can also give you a high-five, clap, and wave. Hide and seek is his favorite game. Enjoys pushing Hudson down on the floor—just payback.

That’s all I can think of right now. I know I’m forgetting a lot. I’m still working on a post about the remodeling of the house. Hope to get some photos up soon.
