What a Big Boy

Dayton went in Wednesday for his 1 year old check up. He weighed 24lbs.13ozs, which was in the 70 percentile. He is 31 1/4 inches tall, which was in the 78 percentile. His head is 19", which was in the 89 percentile. So I would say he is going to be a pretty big boy.

Everything checked out fine. The poor baby got 6 shots - two in each leg and one in each arm. Ouch!!!!!!! I would have cried too. So you know what that means -- it means that Mimi is going to have to really spoil him tonight (not that she doesn't do that every time she sees him).

He can eat anything he wants now and no more bottles. She said with all the things his daddy told her he has been doing lately, that around 15 months he should be able to be potty trained quite easily. He knows now when he has wet in his diaper and will bring you a clean diaper and lay down for you to change him. He already goes to the bathroom with his daddy and watches to see how things are done (isn't that scary?) so hopefully it will be a fairly easy task. The hardest thing so far for him is table food. He's not much into it yet, so we are still trying to find things that we can get him to eat, other than baby food and "cookies" of course. Hopefully he won't turn out like his Mimi and be a junk food junkie. We will work on that.

A couple of other recent pictures of Dayton and daddy having fun and studying together.
