mo had his 12 month checkup a few days ago. he's in the 95th percentile for height still, but he's dropped down to the 75th percentile for weight. and i can attest that he's really thinning out. his little chub folds around his legs are disappearing, and i'm feeling rather sad about it, to be honest with you.
he also had 3 shots, and since then he hasn't really been much like himself. his naps have been short and interrupted, he's been fussy, not eating much, and he hasn't had much patience in general. he's not been himself. he even cuddled with me for like 15 minutes this morning. i loved it, but i also wondered what was going on in his sweet little munchkin head. today, he had a turnaround in the nap department, and i had to wake him up after 2.5 hours this morning, and he's still sleeping now, after 2+ hours this afternoon. i wonder if he's catching the same terrible sickness (cold, flu, stomach all combined) that Shane and i have been battling for 3 weeks or so. i suppose it was just a matter of time.
of course, it also could be his molars coming in--i hear they can be quite a terror. he's been fervently chewing on anything he can fit in his mouth these days and i can feel one molar straining against his gums... i wonder if this fussy baby will be this way for the next few months. perhaps. and i'll love the snot out of him anyhow. while still feeling quite annoyed with his whiny outbursts.
lovelove,
helly
PS: he stacked his toys for the first time the other day. and my heart swelled with pride. he's brilliant, i tell you! :O) (oh, and don't tell me if your child has been doing that since he was 6-months old. just let me bask in the moment. haha)
