12 month check up on 10/25. Michael was 9.1 kg, 10% on American growth curves so he's gaining according to his new curve. His height and head circumference are unknown as Dr. Cohen mumbled the information and entered it into his computer but not Michael's Carnet de Sante.

I'm so glad I have this blog b/c otherwise, I'd have no record of my baby's life. So here goes some splurps just for me to remember:

When Michael is eating grown up food, if it does not make it all the way in his mouth, he pushes it in with the back of his hand.

He brings books for us to read to him now. It is so precious and funny. He doesn't always stay for the end of the book, but he brings us multiple ones to read to him.

Right now, he LOVES this one page in his BabyBug magazine called Yellow. It has pictures of things that are yellow and a little rhyme. He doesn't care about any of the other pages, just this story. And he'll open the magazine to that page and then drag it around the house with him.

He's starting to walk, but not with much stability! He'll raise his hands high up in the hair, take 2-3 steps and just lunge forward.

Michael is also more apt to walk when we are NOT looking. If we're the end result, he'll just shuffle, lunge, or crawl. But I saw him take 2-3 real steps towards a door when he thought I was busy. Still have NOT been able to catch it on camera! !

I think those are the only funny things he's doing for now...
