James's 12 month check-up was today. He needed shots and was sick for a couple of weeks, so we had to wait until today. He is in the 67% for height and head and the 75% for weight (finally 25 lbs!). Supposedly this year they don't gain much weight, but get taller, so it'll be nice for him to stay in his clothes longer than he used to! He took one look at James as he was exploring every inch of the exam room and said, "Boys like him are where cowboys come from!". I laughed and laughed because it is so true! He is so busy, going from toy to toy to toy in no time and is ready to roam the house. He wants and demands his freedom, but wants his mama right there with him. Holding him down to change his diaper is a nightmare right now, because he HATES to be confined in any way. The highchair, stroller, and car seat are all getting too confining for him and he lets me know it! He has to explore constantly and touch, see, and hear everything that is going on. This is the story of my life right now! He did say though that between the age of 5 and 10, boys become very predictable and simple. My mom always said that my brother was a much easier 16 year old than 2 year old. This gives me a little peace knowing this!
