Happy Birthday Jack!!

Jack turned one last Saturday, ( the 20th). I cannot believe how fast and slow the last year has gone for us. Fast as in I cannot believe he is one, slow as in I cannot believe it has been a year since I have slept and intern year was incredibly painful. We had a "party" with my parents and Carter. We decorated, let Jack destroy the really ugly cake I made him, and open some presents.  Next year, I will just buy him a dozen balloons and he will be happy :)

Jack had his 12 month checkup on Wednesday with a temporary pediatrician until we can get in with the one we want. The boy is falling off his growth curve, but they don't seem too concerned. He weighed in at a whooping 21 lbs 3 oz ( 21% percentile), he is 31 inches long (84 %) and his head is 48 cms ( 89%).  So like my sister predicted he looks like a hotdog. No but really, he started out in the 80's for percentile, at his nine month he dropped to 50% and now to 21%. At this rate, by his 15 month he will be off the chart ( and not necessarily in a good way). We aren't too worried, he eats all day long. Carter is constantly saying, He's eating again?!?!  Still no official words, just a lot of pointing and dat's. Maybe dog, but its questionable. No steps yet, but he is close. Otherwise, he is very busy and still has never met a stranger!!!
