The last week has been rather rough since Joshua has had a bad cold, Chris hurt his back and then I got sick. Chris' back is much better than it was and now Joshua and I seem to be feeling much better, we need to be better by Sunday for his birthday party!
I took Joshua for his one year appointment with his new doctor and they said he is doing very well. He weights 21 lb 6 oz (exactly the same as 11 months) and he is 29 inches long. The doctor did comment that he had a big head, 18 inches, but that he wasn't concerned about it, kind of made me what how big is too big?
I have been trying to encourage Joshua to walk or at least stand on his own but he has no interest in it, why when he can get everywhere he wants to by crawling. I will stand him up and as soon as I try and release his fingers he sits down, doesn't fall he immediatly sits on his bum. He will walk if I hold his hands and he will walk along the walls and the furniture, he just won't let go.
He continues to sleep well, although not while he is sick, he averages about 12 - 13 hours a night, which the doctor said I should be openly bragging about, and he has one to two naps a day. He seems to nap very well at the dayhome in the afternoon, usually around two to three hours.
He loves to eat, and will eat just about everything that is put in front of him, especially if he gets to feed himself. His favourites are cheese, bananas, toast, steamed sweet potatoe fries, peaches and mandarine oranges. I have also given his grilled cheese sandwiches and he loves those.
Wow, 13 hours at night! My kid averages 11 so I'm a little envious. I hope his birthday was great.
