Oh yeah

Hey Guys,
So, I realized last weekend, when asked about Adam's doctor visit nearly two weeks ago, that I hadn't updated everyone here on things (I've had this screen open all week to remind me to do it). So, here we go.

Adam's doctor visit last Tuesday went just about like most visits do. They weighed him (just over 25 pounds), measured him (just over 32 inches), monitored him, talked to me, and gave him shots (he's older now, so that's worse...his pain receptors don't fade away/die/whatever as quickly so he remembers and is angry about it for longer periods of time...also, he realizes there's a bandaid on his leg and just hands it to me because what are bandaids?) Oh, his head's also still on track at slightly larger than average.

Normally, from there, I'd be asked to return once he's 2, but because he's not saying anything really, they want to see him in another 3 months to make sure that's just because he loves his pacifier way too much. We've been instructed to have him leave it in bed and maybe only have it at naps, bedtime, or if he wants it in the car. So far it seems to be working. He's a lot more verbal now...which is to say, he's not as much saying more words, but more trying to feel out all of the different sounds (and all of the different volumes for sure).(Oh and he's always babbled...if that was a question...I guess I should have just said he's babbling more.)

Now, no worries though guys, his comprehension is great, it's just a precaution.

As for everything else, we've now converted his bed into a toddler bed, so he can get in and out on his own. It hasn't really made him want to sleep there more (he's still pretty addicted to coming into our bed after a few hours), but hopefully that'll change over time. Now that he's dropping some of his naps, he sleeps more solidly when he does, so I'm assuming he'll eventually stop waking up as easily from random sounds or the lack there of.
Cheers.
