I took Nathan into the doctor's for his one year check up today. Poor kid, he's had a rough couple of days. We took him to get his hair cut yesterday and he cried so hard, then he was awake most of the night because he was cutting new teeth, and then today he had to get three shots. Needless to say I have had a grumpy boy on my hands today. We spent alot of time playing in the sunshine today. Playing outside always makes him feel so much better. We will definitely have to find a good snowsuit for him this winter, he loves it outside!
Nathan is now 20lbs and 30.9 inches long, which puts him in the 10th percentile of other kids his age. But he wears a size 5 shoe, so I have no doubt that at some point my little man will grow into his feet.
Nathan is right on track with his gross motor skills, but is lagging a little with his fine motor skills. The doctor suggested that we sit down together and color with crayons and a coloring book to help him refine those skills. Also, he needs to be able to hold onto a sippy cup and take a drink by himself, and he needs to be using eating utensils more. Nathan also needs to work on identifying body parts. I told the doctor that he knows where his penis is, but she seemed to think that wasn't enough. He has trouble finding his nose, but he sure knows where is penis is!
Tonight we were working on the names of all the parts of my face; this is Mama's nose, this is Mama's eyes, this is Mama's lips, and every time I pointed to my lips Nathan gave me the sweetest kiss! I love him!!!
