Well, okay. One year and a month or so.... I kept having to move the doctor's visit b/c Owen would get sick. It's not a well visit if he's sick. He cried the entire visit. It's sad that my baby knows the doctor's office so well that he cries the entire time we are in the room and points to the door. It takes all my energy to keep him calm.
He weighs 21 pounds and is in the 16th percentile. He is 30 3/4 inches tall, and that is the 60th percentile. He's my little skinny kid. He has low iron and has for a while. At nine months it was in the low normal range. Then about a month ago we took him in b/c he was sick. His iron was low at that apt. Had his blood rechecked and it's still a bit low. So now we are having to really force iron rich foods. He's not to happy about all this. But, the doctor would rather get this under control with diet before we start an iron supplement.
Otherwise he is doing great. :) He has such a big personality. He loves his daddy and is a clear daddy's boy. He will eat almost anything you put in front of him (except the iron rich foods). He thinks that Ethan is the best thing ever and yells out "E" all the time. If I pick Owen up from daycare and Ethan went to preschool that day Owen gets all upset looking around for his "E". He has a smile that can melt anyone's heart. That smile will get him out of trouble one day. Speaking of trouble his new skill is climbing on the couches. He climbs up, sits there with this huge grin, then climbs down. Then the entire thing starts over again. He loves water and thinks the baby pool is the best thing ever. He has a stubborn side and really lets his opinion known. If he doesn't like something he lets you know about it.
Also, he bites. If he's mad, he lunges for you so that he can bite you. Thank the Lord that he doesn't have teeth. Hopefully we'll get this stopped before he gets some teeth. (Oh yeah and he doesn't have a single tooth yet....)
He is my baby cake and I love him so much. Our family is perfect with this little guy in it.

They are so precious. I can just see him looking around for his E. How cute. Good luck on the iron. That sounds like a hard thing to push with a little one.
