Caleb's 12 month check up

Today we went in for Caleb's 12 month baby well check. He is doing great. He now weighs a whopping 23 lbs 3 oz. and is 31 inches long. He is in the 50th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height. He didn't grow much between his 6 and 9 month checkups but he sure did between 9 and 12 months, wow!!! Just for comparison I checked Isaac's measurements at 12 months. He was only 20 lbs 11 oz. and 30 1/4 inches. It's so funny because when Isaac was 9 months old he was 29 inches and Caleb was only 28 1/2 inches at 9 months. Now Caleb is ahead of Isaac on his 12 month measurements!!!

Caleb is cruising furniture like crazy and talking up a storm. He says quite a few words, sometimes I keep thinking he acts older then he really is. He's weaned off of formula and is off of the bottle. I never realized how easy that would be. With Isaac, weaning off the bottle was difficult and we didn't bite that bullet until 15 months. This time Caleb pretty much gave us signals that he wanted to be like his brother. He never once fussed or asked for his bottle. He went to the sippy cup like nothing ever happened.

I now have 2 toddlers, it's a bittersweet feeling I think.
