Rhylan had his One Year Well Baby visit with the doctor yesterday. It seems our "little peanut" of a baby is catching/has caught up!
He came in at 31 inches, and 20 lbs. 11 0z.
(Which puts him in the 83rd percentile for height, and 18th for weight. That is the highest percentile he has ever been for either! Big change from a year ago when he was 19.5 inches (34th percentile), 5 lbs. 6 oz (2nd percentile).)
Now, for a little bragging: He is doing very well, and the doctor is very happy with his growth and development. She has continued to keep him on the charts with his actual birth date, not age adjustment for being nearly 6 weeks early- which is what is typically done for early babies in their first 2 years. He was "showing off" for her- waiving, blowing kisses, said 3 (out of his 7 or 8 word vocabulary) words for her, and flirting in typical Rhylan fashion.
And no, he isn't walking (can't count how many times I have been asked!)- which is totally normal at this age. He cruises the furniture, and gets where he needs to go quite quickly with crawling. How many teeth you ask? Still nothing there either! The doctor seemed a bit surprised, but not alarmed. She said that she is "sure" that he will be walking and have teeth at his next appointment, in three months. We'll see, I am starting to think that we need to start looking into baby dentures!
