On Friday we took Alden to the doctor for his 1 year checkup. He weighed 24 3/4 pounds and was 31 1/2 inches long!!! The doc says he's a big boy, but perfectly on track where he needs to be. We did get a referral to a cardiologist to check out his heart murmur, but the doctor feels everything will look just fine with further testing. Just one of those precautionary measures. Otherwise he's healthy and developing just right!!!
He can now do 3 different signs and says "mama" and "dada" when he wants to. He can walk, but chooses not to most of the time. He still crawls very quickly everywhere. He can dance and play pat-a-cake. He likes to wrestle with Adam and Daddy. He likes to practice putting things in and out of containers and he even can do some of the motions to "If you're happy and you know it" when you sing to him. He is off of formula and by the end of the week he'll have his last bottle (neither of which he's complained about).
I can't believe he's a year already. He has been such a joy to our family. I am so glad Abrahm is home to watch all of the wonderful things he's doing.
