Hi everyone!
Jacob just had his one-year appointment yesterday! He is doing just great...growing just fine! He is totally off formula and seems to really enjoy eating what we eat and loves his milk and juice!
He now weighs 21 pounds and 7 oz. ( a 2 pound and 7 ounce increase) and is 30 1/2" long (a 2 1/2 inch increase). His melon is 19 3/4"....the doctor even did it again to make sure! She thinks it may be plateauing finally, but they are going to check again at 15 months to make sure. It runs in John's family, having big old heads, but they will do further testing at 15 months, if it hasn't leveled out, to rule out other things.
It also seems that his umbilical hernia is going back in itself, so they will watch that, along with his heart murmur. Dr. Arth noted that in his chart (the first and only one until today) about 6 months ago or so; it seems like ages ago! No other doctor has mentioned it until yesterday when Dr. Brown noticed it. Again, they are just going to watch it and see how it goes.
All in all he is doing GREAT...has TONS of teeth and now I have to get better at brushing them twice a day....boy does he hate it...I have to pry his mouth open! Hopefully doing it more will make it better for him and a routine that he just tolerates!
We think by 15 months we will be needing a new car seat. He is long enough for a new one, but not quite there on weight yet. He is still at 75 percentile for height, and his weight is even, so it's all good!!!

David and I were amzed this visit how much he has grown since the last time we saw him. Yes like the rest of this family he enjoys eating good food! I have to pull a pic of you at his age. He looks so much like you did then. Look forward to seeing you all this weekend!
Happy Easter! Enjoyed all the birthday pictures; what fun y'all had celebrating. It's been quite clear to me that Jacob is growing, but I had no idea how much. Looks as if he will be a big boy. Love,

Mackenzie and I loved looking at all the pictures of Jacob's party. He's so cute in his little boy outfit. And, I want a license plate holder like "Gram Grams"!! Love Auntie Debbie & Mackenzie
