1 year check-up

Alex had his 1 year check-up last week and Dr. Joyce is pleased with how he's growing and developing. He weighed in at 23.2# and is 30 1/2" long. What a big boy! :) And according to Dr. Joyce, Alex is in the middle of another growth spurt -- which would explain him sleeping longer and eating more. To be honest, we didn't think he could eat more than he was!! :) I'm afraid to see how he will be at 16 -- we're going to have to build another pantry for just him! :)

Alex is so close to walking that each day it surprises me that he hasn't started yet. He is still climbing up the stairs at an alarming speed, but last night he did manage to climb down 3 steps all on his own! YEAH!! :)

He is in the process of getting one more molar -- that would make a whomping 11 teeth! He is drooling all the time and is quite the mess! He doesn't seem to notice though -- typical boy, I guess! :)
