Silas @ 12 Months

Silas had his 12 month check up today and everything went great (except the five shots he had to get). He weighs 22 lbs 2 oz (39%) and is 33 inches tall (99%), still the tall skinny one! The doctor said everything looks and sounds great and he could even see inside his ears, a very rare occurrence with these two boys and their earwax... I had prepped Noah for the shots because he usually gets really upset when Silas cries a lot so we had discussed it in the car on the way there and when shot time came Noah rubbed Silas's head and said "it's OK Silas" how sweet is that!!!

Silas is eating mostly finger foods now with very little baby food. He loves garden burgers, any kind of meat, cauliflower, broccoli, cheese and toast. He is consistently sleeping through the night pretty much every night and is taking one or two naps totaling at least three hours (lucky momma here :) He is so close to walking, we actually saw him take two steps tonight so I am thinking it is going to be any day now, watch out! He also climbs up and down the stairs by himself, really fast, a little too fast sometimes! He says, momma, daddy & dada, light, milk, whas that, fish and this. I think he might have been trying to say Noah today but it was coming out Nuh.

Quiet house = trouble

*Funny Noah story - Noah brought his Handy Manny laptop with him to the doctors office and when Dr. Nash asked him what he was doing on there he said he was doing some bankruptcies. The doctor looked at me funny and said I am assuming someone in the family works in finances, not a lot of two year olds talk bankruptcy...
