January Fun

The winter can't keep us down! We have been having fun inside and out in the snow. Last week Brett had his 1 year check-up and all went well. He is in about the 40th percentile for both weight and height. A little down from last time, as expected, because he is becoming more active. Our boy is an explorer for sure. The doctor said his birthmark is getting lighter and should disappear over time as they had originally told us. It was funny because he was kind of showing off to his doctor by mimicking her, babbling, and waving at her. No walking yet but the doctor agreed that he is getting close. Yesterday, Brett had to get his blood drawn for a lead and iron test. This is typical for 1 year olds. Unfortunately, the nurse could not get a good vein and he will have to go back again in a few months to try again. Brett was a prince from what I hear.

This past weekend, we took Brett to the Hands On Museum in Ann Arbor. Brett's Grandparents Cindy and Dennis got us a family pass for Christmas. The museum has a cool toddler room where Brett played with the water on the water table and explored all the cool toys.

Today I was able to take some time off and went to the library here in Chelsea with Kristin and Brett for Baby Time. They sing songs, read books, and play with toys. After that Kristin took Brett to the mall for even more fun. Like I said, the cold is not stopping the fun.

Tired boy!
