We took Ryker to his 12 month check-up yesterday. He had to have 4 shots two in each leg (one was his second round of the flu shot) and he was not happy about that but usually he would be a bear the rest of the night and he was playful as ever which thrilled us.
Here are his stats from the visit...
17 pounds 12 ounces- 2nd to 3rd% (He is still a little guy but he eats like crazy and he is ALWAYS on the move so the doctor is not concerned. Plus he does always gain but not a fast rate!)
29 1/2" in length (My boy is going to be tall and skinny like his daddy)
Things Ryker does, likes, dislikes etc. at 12 months:
- He is crawling everywhere!
- Pulls himself to stand on everything.
- Walks everywhere as long as he has something to hold onto.
- He loves to have any kids around to play with.
- Says “Mama”, “Dada” and we swear he says hi and baby sometimes.
- Eats two stage 2 jars or 1 stage 3 and 1 stage 2 with every meal.
- Loves puff, brownie bites, bread, crackers and chips for snacks!
- He is OBSESSED with refried beans and cannot get enough of them.
- We are still struggling with the sippy cup but hopefully he will pick that up someday.
- Does not nap very well throughout the day maybe two ½ hour to 45 minute naps.
- Goes to bed GREAT in his own crib but some nights still wakes up about 4:30 a.m. for a bottle. Sleeps from around 8:30 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. with that occasional feeding.
- Is just fitting into his 12 month clothes but the pants are still a little big around the waist.
- Loves to cuddle when he is tired or sick but that is the only time.
- Still has to watch cartoons to eat any meal to entertain him preferably “Yo Gabba Gabba: (I know I know it’s bad but that is the only way we can get him to eat his whole meal without fussing).
- He gets so sad when anyone leaves the house.
- Ryker can be held or played with by anyone which is a little scary because he will go to a complete stranger. He is not shy whatsoever!
- Loves to look out the sliding glass door to see what is going on.
- He loves to go for walks.
- Hates to take medicine, have his teeth brushed, boogies taken out of his nose, basically anything that requires you to hold him down a bit.
- Ryker is very independent and definitely wants it to be his way.
- He can already throw a tantrum.
- He hates to have socks or shoes on. If you have socks on him they will off in two seconds.
- He can do the clapping and rolling motion to “Patty Cake” but will not do it when mommy is trying to video tape.
- His favorite part of the day is when his daddy walks through the door.
- He loves to take a bath.
- His favorite room in the house is the kitchen. I think he likes the way the linoleum sounds when he crawls/walks on it.
- He loves to play with any truck especially his new "Chuck the Talking Truck".
- Ryker still wears a #3 diaper.

I am sure I could go on and on but I just wanted to cover the basics!
I know I say it over and over but we are truly blessed to have this little man in our lives!
