Nolan's One Year Appointment

We had Nolan's one year doctor appointment on Monday...Again... I CAN NOT BELIEVE MY BABY IS ONE!! He did really well at his appointment. He weighs 23 lbs. 13.5oz and is 29.5 inches tall. The doctor said he was in the 50th percentile all the way around. He has a small mama and dada, so I guess that is expected. No 90th or 95th percentile here... Michelle! ;)The doctor was impressed that Nolan has 8 words that he says and knows (Mama, Dada, Baba, Dog, Cissy, HOT, Hi, and Bye). She said that most one year olds only know 2-3 words. She also stated that according to definition, Nolan is technically walking right now. I just don't think that taking 3 or 4 steps and then getting on your butt to crawl is walking! I will officially say that he is walking when he continually takes steps to get from one place to another. Nolan had 3 shots, which he was NOT happy about, which is to be expected. He also had to have a vial of blood drawn to test him for a bunch of things, including Lead and Anemia. Again, he was not happy, but he actually did extremely well. Who would have thought that a one year old would sit still enough to have his blood drawn?

The Doctor said that he can strictly be on table foods now, which is mostly what he eats anyways. I have a HUNGRY boy! She also said that we can start weaning him off of the formula. We are going to have to do it slowly though (over the next three months) because his will be changing from soy formula to cow's milk. She said the sudden change could upset his stomach greatly.

Overall, all is well! We have a beautiful and healthy baby boy that means the world to us... and many others!!
