Alex's One Year Old Stats

Well, Alex and I had another visit to the pediatrician today - fortunately no symptoms were present (phew).  Unfortunately (for Alex) he still had 4 doses of medicine/shots.  He was not a happy boy.

He's done a great job growing this year.

Birth stats: 6 lbs, 11 oz (15th %ile); 19 inches long (15th %ile)

1 year old stats: 22 lbs, 2 oz (64th %ile); 31 inches long (95th %ile)

As fun as it is to compare his current stats to birth stats, it's also fun to compare him to his big brother.

Watch out big brother, the little one is catching up!

Even though he's not yet walking, Alex sure keeps us on our toes.  He scoots, crawls, pulls-up, grabs and will bump down steps all on his own (and very quickly and quietly if he senses he's not being watched carefully).  He's a smiley happy boy who keeps us giggling and laughing as often as he does.  Can't imagine life without our little imp.  Happy Birthday sweet baby!
