Height: 31.5 inches (70th percentile)
Weight: 21 lbs. 2 oz. (10th percentile)
He's so skinny! He was in the 20th percentile at his 12-month appointment and only gained 11 oz. in the past 3 months! His doctor is a little concerned but just said to give him as much whole milk as possible and just keep plugging away at feeding him. Adam is sometimes a great eater and sometimes not. He loves veggies and although that's great, they don't provide a lot of calories. He will eat his weight in peas, carrots, or corn if we let him! Let's hope that trend continues in the coming years....assuming we can get him to eat the other things we put in front of him.
Here are the words and signs that Adam knows right now:
Words he says on his own:
Ball (both for the object and for basketball on TV)
Mama
Dada
banana
clock
cracker
stinky stinky stinky
beh-buh for bellybutton
pee-pee
book
Jesus
"Baby, baby" - he sings this all the time when he wants to watch his Baby Signing Time DVDs...it's the theme song and although it's cute that he can sing it...it gets old when he sings it over and over and over again and begs to watch it!
Words he repeats but doesn't say on his own yet:
shoes
socks
block
hat
"Love ya"
ni-night
diaper
bear
nose
Signs he makes (and usually tries to say the word at the same time):
more
please
eat
milk
banana
cracker
drink
baby
shoes
socks
ball
hat
Mama
Dada
dog
cat
bear
car
bath time
brush teeth
wash hands
airplane
bottle
stinky (bottle and stinky are signs he made up on his own really early on. Bottle is basically waving bye-bye and stinky is waving his hand in front of his nose)
I'm amazed at the list of signs! I didn't realize he knew that many. I have to say, although I hate sitting him in front of a DVD, he sure learns a lot from them and it's helped him communicate with us so much better!
I love this little guy and am really enjoying the "boy" he's turning into! Although I miss my little cuddly baby, it's so much fun to see his personality develop!
