Happy Birthday! You get shots! Gotta love the AAP schedule of exams and immunizations. Jackson had his 12 month checkup today and it went fantastically. He weighs 22 lbs, 3.5 oz which is pretty good, and is 29.5 inches long. I'm convinced that the nurse who measures him isn't doing it right...he seems so much taller than that. His head is large. 75th-percentile, but we knew it was big anyways. Then she informed me that his shot schedule over the next six months would contain four required shots, with one optional Hep A shot. We went with the Chicken Pox and Hep A today. At his 15 month appointment we will do the ghastly MMR that everyone thinks causes all the issues. So I can put off being worried about that for three more months.

Developmentally he is doing great and is just as he should be. I guess the average walking is at 14 months so he's ahead there. The adage I hear is "boys walk, girls talk" so that explains why he only uses mama and dada really and hasn't learned a third word. He says versions of Buffy. That's the closest he's come to saying an additional word we have tried to get him to say. He does his version of pat a cake which is high fiving, he waves goodbye. He points at things he wants, reaches up for us, and pounds on his tray when he wants more of something (which by the way, we are over).

Anyways, that's what's new here. We are putting our place on the market on Friday so we have been in a whirlwind getting it ready. If you're in the market for two beds and three baths in southwest Longmont, you know who to call...
