1 year checkup

Alexander turned one this month.

Had his checkup today. He weighs 21 lbs 7 oz, is 31.5 inches tall, and his
head is 19 3/8.

He got his chickenpox and prevnar vaccinations.

Breastfeeding is still going strong. :-D No problems there at all. He nurses
twice during the night usually, which I'm completely fine with because he
sleeps with us. We put our mattress on the floor and put a toddler mattress
beside it to eventually transition him to. I put him there when he first
falls asleep at night and during naptime but he always climbs into bed with
us at night.

He stopped wanting baby food a month ago and now just eats bits of what we
eat. He loves chicken and turkey, rice and apples. He hates green beans. He
likes carrots.

He still has eczema flair-ups. They've been greatly reduced as we've been
eating at home a lot more frequently and I've been very careful not to have
any wheat, milk, or potato. Once I stopped the potato his hands cleared up
almost completely.

He walks all over the place now, rarely falling (or catching himself with
his hands when he does fall). He climbs all over everything like a monkey.
He says Dada and byebye and Hi! He waves and high-fives. If I tell him to
give me kisses he opens his mouth and leans toward me.

He is wonderful. :-D

Yep. During the pregnancy I took homeopathic sulfur and it got a lot better.
After the birth it completely vanished.
