12-Month Check-up

Brayden had his 12-month check-up and his 6-month International Adoption check-up today. I couldn't go b/c I am too busy at work :( However, DH did a pretty good job at taking notes and he even got this pic for me. This is at the dr's office -- who's that famous face on the wall? Well, it's our very own Brayden Boy!! I can't believe how grown up Brayden Mynor looks compared to that pic -- it's like he turned into a toddler overnight!!! Here are the stats from the check-up:
Height - 29" (40%) Wow -- that is a huge % for Brayden!!
Weight - 19 lbs 15 oz (10%) One more oz and we can turn that carseat around!!!
Head Circ - 43.5" (2%) Hey, we're just glad to finally be on the chart!!

We'll be phasing in soy milk instead of formula over the next little bit, so Bray-My will be waking up to some yummy Silk tomorrow morning -- we'll see how it goes. He's also going to start taking Poly-Vi-Sol w/ iron drops, which should be fun considering the fact that Brayden hates taking any "medicine" type stuff! Also, the dr suggested that we start trying to move him away from the bottle. . . I'm not so sure I'm going to be able to comply with this one! The boy L-O-V-E-S his bottle, and it is such a comfort to him. I guess we'll just have to see how that goes, too.

Well happy birthday Brayden! (tomorrow) And a model to boot, you won't be able to keep the girls off of him :)
My oldest took Iron drops...they will stain anything they touch.
Speaking of adoption...my next post is going to be about adoption...as soon as I write it :)

Your son is gorgeous! Glad he is doing so well - nothing cuter than a little guy from Guatemala - our john-Bryan is 9 months old!

Happy Birthday Brayden!!! Evan loved his bottle a little too much and it took us until he was 2 to get rid of it. The pedi and cardio finally agreed that Evan just wasn't ready to give it up. You'll know when it's the right time for Brayden. Glad the b-day party was a success!

So happy to hear Brayden had a great check up! He's so handsome, I love looking at pictures of him ... no wonder he's framed on the wall at the dr's office!

I don't blame you for wanting to hang on to the bottle for a bit longer... it's such a nice snuggle opportunity, isn't it?!

Yeah! Clean bill of health and that picture is too cute on the wall. He does look much older now.
