-Brooks had his 12 mo checkup today (well..actually 12.5 months). It went well but we held off on getting shots because he is still not feeling 100% today. He is fever free...but I did not want to take a chance with his immune system down. He still has a bad cough at night and has a little fluid behind his right ear. We are going to keep an eye on it, but no need for meds right now. He weighs 22.8 lbs (50th percentile) and 31 3/4 in long (95th percentile). I thought he weighed more...but still long and skinny. Everything looked good though. Doc said not to sweat getting him off bottle and to wean over next month. We plan to try whole milk and then go from there if he has a reaction. Next checkup is at 16 months. I thought he would be walking more consistently by now, but he is taking 10 steps, lets go to stand for up to 1 min, and is coming up to stand without assist at times. He is close...but just not ready yet. It freaks us out to see him let go, turn and walk by us. We are not used to it yet. Our little guy is growing up right before our eyes!
-Brooks LOVES balloons and is really been working on blending the sounds. He is getting the "L" sound off the balloon and loves to drag it around everywhere! Even if it is deflated! We caught him on tape today talking about his balloon and saying "bye" at the end. His bye cracks me up! Whenever it is time to go "sleepy night night", he reaches for me, immediately waves and then says "bye" to Daddy and the dogs. He is too much!!
