Ian's 1 year Stats

Technically now Ian is almost 14 months old! But I took him in for his 1 yr well visit at 12.5 months. Here's the lowdown:

Ian about 13 months old

Head Size: 18.1 inches, 34th percentile
Weight: 22.7 lbs, 44th percentile
Height: 30.4 inches, 64th percentile

So our little guy is roughly average sized for his height & weight! I think Jase was much bigger than Ian at this age (I'll have to look back and double check but I'm pretty sure). Even though he's now almost 14 months, here's some things he's been doing lately...

He is awesome fast at crawling around (used to be army crawling but just recently during our trip to New Orleans started "regular" crawling). He can also pull himself to standing on anything...and he can hold onto stuff and walk around the edges of furniture. He will also balance standing up for a few seconds before falling. He will take steps if you hold both of his hands and walk with him, but he has yet to try walking on his own (without holding onto anything).  He loves to crawl over and through objects, like chairs, boxes, etc--almost like an obstacle course, LOL! I have a really funny picture of him stuck hanging  from the rungs underneath our kitchen chair--I need to look for that! He says "mama, dada, yaya (he says yaya so much that I started calling him Yaya), uh-oh (he says this sooo cute), and just the other day he said "nana" for banana (his most favorite thing to eat).

He's making a funny face here! But you can kind of see his gap between his teeth.

He is in that super dooper picky stage of eating. Oh my goodness he won't eat hardly anything! And he has to put it in his own mouth (doesn't like to be spoon fed much). Sometimes I have to "force feed" him something I know he'll like just so he'll get the taste of it, and THEN he will eat it. Stubborn boy! Besides bananas, he loves Goldfish cheese crackers or those Annie's bunny crackers. His new thing to eat is peeled apple slices. Also yogurt.


His hair is blonde (def gets this from Roob), the top is straight and wispy and the sides are super curly. It is getting long but Reuben will NOT allow me to cut it! His eyes are still blue, but a deeper/greenish gray blue than Jase's ice blue color. I think they might turn officially hazel. His little teeth are still coming in. Right now he has 4 on the top and 4 on the bottom. Some molars are already cutting through as well (probably helps with the eating of apples). We found out that his frenulum (sp?) (skin that connects upper lip to gums) is rather long, so that is probably what is causing the gap in between his front teeth. According to the dentist, most likely he'll fall and tear this skin himself, but if not, by 2 years old they can snip it if they need to (ouch! poor baby). We shall see.
