12 month stats

we headed to the dr. for jack's big 12 month appointment on monday, and all is well! he definitely had a growth spurt, which allows me to breath a sigh of relief as i was beginning to think i was going nuts...all his pants were getting too short! he's in the 90% for height, 50-75% for both weight & head circumference.

in regards to the normal 12 month questions...we'll be staying away from honey, nuts & shellfish, but all else is fair game! he'll still stay rear-facing in the car seat as the dr. suggested until at least 18 months--i'm kinda glad the dr. said it, because i had been reading the new literature that suggested that anyhow and his affirmation made it an easier decision for me. he's hitting all his milestones at the right pace, and everything looks great!

i'm still on the fence about the chicken pox vaccine, and delaying his MMR, but he did get a flu shot. so far no real reaction, but he is extremely fussy today....hopefully it is short-lived!

here are some more pictures from his birthday. i created a slideshow, but am having trouble uploading it, so these will have to suffice for the time being!

the goats at the farm...don't they look amused!

Your party was a blast, Jack! Your mommy and daddy worked so hard to make it a great one. You are a lucky little boy.
