One Year Checkup!

The guys had their 12 month well-baby checkups on Feb 12th and here are all the details!

Levi
Weight: 21.1 lbs (still in the 25th percentile)
Length: 28 3/4 inches (25th percentile)
Head circumference: 45.8 cm (25-50 percentile)

Milo was sporting a pretty impressive eye infection at their one year checkup.
Milo
Weight: 22.11 lbs (25-50th percentile)
Length: 29 3/4 inches (50th percentile)
Head circumference: 46.7 cm (50 – 75th percentile)
The guys are hanging in there at one inch apart in height. And still, the weight difference between the guys FEELS a lot bigger than it actually is.

There have been some exciting things going on lately in the house. Just yesterday we were all playing by the couch when Dave come home from work. The guys looked up and got very excited, as usual. But this time Levi said “Dadada”. It is the first time that either of the guys have said “Dada”and it was obvious that they were talking about Dave. We were all so excited! Levi also waves hi and bye. Sometimes he gets so excited when he does it that it is followed by a clap. It is so sweet. Milo just likes to watch us wave at him and has not yet figured out his social obligation to wave back.

We are trying to remember to brush their teeth every night, no toothpaste. But it is so hard to remember to do that! Dave and I remember to brush their teeth about half the time. We are working on this since we don’t want them to get cavities in their baby teeth! The horror!

We have a new Nanny, Dani. She is so fantastic. More on her later.

We now have three highchair meals a day. They like their solids more than their bottle now. And they can eat nearly everything. The only stuff they need to stay away from are choking hazards (nuts, hard raw fruits and veggies, buttons, etc). But they now eat scrambled eggs with tofu pups, malt-o-meal, salmon patties, and dried fruit. Nearly everything! It is so fun to watch them try new things. And bananas… our house now has a three banana a day habit. I wonder if there is a banana support group.

So, what is next? I want to try to get the guys to eat plain steamed veggies… I hear that some babies do it. We’ll try. Other things we might see between now and 18 months…

- Removes articles of clothing
- Has four to ten words
- Responds to name
- Points at objects and names body parts
- Makes eye contact for reassurance
- Walks and runs
- Shakes head “no”
