On Monday, we took Elijah for his one year check-up. The doctor said he was very healthy and right on track with development. We were thrilled to hear that news!! When we mentioned our concern that he was not walking yet, he told us that most babies (not all)do not start walking till after their first birthday and some may even take up to 15 months. So, that made us feel better. One area that was not quite where the doctor or we would have liked was Elijah's weight. He is actually under where he should be for his age. So the doctor told us to keep doing what we are doing and with the additional recommendations he suggested, he feels he will be back on track soon or at least by his 15 month check-up.I guess now I have an excuse to give him mac and cheese more often.(one of his favorites) Byron and I couldn't help but laugh at the irony in this considering he comes from two parents who really like to eat and have the opposite problem. He also had to get 4 shots which was SO hard for Mommy and Daddy to see their baby getting. He didn't like it either!! We also have made the official switch to milk and no more bottles at all. Yea! Because Elijah is of age and weight (barely)now, we were able to turn his car seat around forward facing and he is loving it! It's a whole new world for him. So all and all, Monday was a great day for Elijah and his parents. :)
