1 Year Checkup!

April 15th, Landon had his 1 year check up!

Little man... well, continues to be little! :) He's gained 2 pounds and 1 inch since his 9 month check up and Dr. C said - as he bounced around the exam room - that he's quite the curious little guy! We knew that. =/ 

Here's a little re-cap of the last year:

AGE	WEIGHT	HEIGHT	HEAD
Birth:	6lbs 14oz	18.5in	13.5in
9 Days:	7lbs 1oz	19.8in	13.8in
18 Days:	7lbs 7oz	20.5in	14in
1 Month 3 Weeks:	9lbs 4oz	22in
2 Months 2 Weeks		22in
4 Months 2 Weeks:	15lbs 1oz	25in	16.8in
5 Months 2 Weeks:	16lbs 8oz
6 Months 2 Weeks:	18lbs	27in	17.5in
9 Months 1 Week:	20lbs 1oz	28in	18in
11 Months	21lbs 5oz
11 Months 4 Weeks:	22lbs
1 Year:	22lbs 1oz	29in	18.3in

The only question I had for Dr. C was to see if you can over feed a 1 year old?! The kid eats... like NON-stop. Seriously. Last night, he ate more than I did at dinner?! Is that normal???? She said that as long as he's self feeding (like off his own tray, not from a jar or bottle) then he'll stop when he's done. Honestly, I haven't seen him stop yet?! He does the occasional hand over the edge to feed the dog, but then the next bite goes right in the mouth?! Crazy kid. But I guess we'll just continue on as we have been cause she said he's healthy and looks great!

He got 3 pricks in his thighs and one blood draw and we were done! Happy boy! Did you know though, when Dr. C was telling me about the Chicken Pox vaccine that we were about to get - after a child gets the vaccine, actual Chicken Pox can be passed through their dirty diapers for the next few days?!?! Good thing Adam and I have both had it! And also that Landon has a very very small chance of developing a very very mild case of it in the next week or so?! Ugh, the thought of that makes my skin itch... actually, it has been since she told me that. Yuck. I had the Chicken Pox twice... just FYI =/

And then I got to tell Dr. C that we were moving and this was probably the last time that we'll be in to see her ::insert sad face here:: I'm bummed! When you find a doctor that you love it's so hard to leave and even more dreadful to have to find someone new. 

Side note: I don't think I've mentioned moving before now... detailed blog post soon to come :) If you know me you probably know some details but eh, yeah, they're plentiful - the details that is.

So, head over to I Heart Faces and check out other entries this week.  There are bound to be a lot and they are sure to be gorgeous!

The Faces of Teething

This is what I've been seeing for the last week or so since tooth number one popped through :( Poor little man. It's only about 1/2 way up and his gums are all swollen right next to it so I imagine tooth number two will be making an appearance in the next few days

Overall, he's been pretty happy and we're dealing well with Orajel. I generally don't like taking medicine so I try not to give it to him unless he's obviously in pain but it seems like every night so far since we've seen it pop through is that he has a little meltdown after his afternoon nap. Around 3 or 4 every day, he'll have nothing but to be held - standing up. Don't you dare sit down with him or put him down!  

Here's hoping it passes quick! :(

Are my readers sick of bathtub picures yet???

Seriously, the bath is the only place these days I can keep Landon contained enough to get some good shots of him! So... enjoy some more bathtime pictures, I know grandma & grandpa won't mind :) Here's our fun from the other night, I couldn't pick my favorite so I'm just posting them all!!!
