Zander's Doc Update

The stats are here for Zander.   He is now 13 months, but when we went to the doctor a month ago, he was:

29 1/2 inches (30%)
19 lbs. 4 oz. (5%)
head was 45.7 cm. (25%)


Overall, our little buddy is now little for his age.  I like them like that.  Maybe because I can relate.  Haha.

He is growing nonstop in personality though!  He is definitely picking up on all social cues and habits, exploring everything in his reach, trying to lengthen his reach by climbing all the time, and enjoying more rough play. 

He still only has 6 teeth (which he's had since he was 8 months) and I don't see any that are coming any day soon.

He talks a lot.  He says "Daddy" whenever Preston comes home.  He'll say "birdy," "Doggie," "Brayden," "Hi," "ball," and his favorite word for telling us what he wants (acompanied by pointing) is "that."  If I don't show that I understand what he's looking at and wanting, "that" soon turns into "THAAAAAT."  Hahaha.  He really is a very expressive boy.  But, his new desire for exploration or knowing what he wants also comes with more whining when he doesn't get it.  Opposition in all things, right?  Haha.  But, I do love this stage.  We're out of the hardest stage in my opinion.
