-Andy's 12 month checkup was with one of the NPs because his regular doctor was off. She was a bit concerned with his weight (29 lbs) and spoke about making sure he has regular meals and snacks rather than grazing throughout the day...oops :) we also talked to her about sleep, and she's adamantly pro-CIO. So we're giving that another try. We were able to get him to sleep in his own bed all night, though he woke up twice. Dave slept through it but I laid awake and listened to him cry. It took him about 20-30 min each time, which in parent listening to child cry time, is about 67,000 years. We didn't do any overnight bottles, which I suspect is a big reason he's such a big boy. Anyway, his physical exam was fine, and he got Avengers band-aids for his vaccine sites :)
-I took him to a playground in the afternoon. He loved the swing and pushing around the toy lawnmower. He still doesn't like slides. Then we went to Davis Square, had a banana, and he walked around a bit.
-I apparently have plans for the next few weekends. Next weekend is the March for Science, and then a gaming/birthday party on Sunday. The weekend after is a baby shower, and then a work friend mentioned inviting us to her daughters birthday party the following week. I think the secret is to be adopted by extroverts :)
