Gage's One Year well check and some fun videos!

We had Gage's one year well check today, finally, after being rescheduled three times. (Just a few days shy of being 13 months) He is doing fantastic according to the Dr. He weighed in at 24 pounds exactly which is in the 50-75%. He was 31 inches long which is in the 75-90% and I don't remember his exact head circumference but I know he was in the 75% for that too. He has been pretty cranky lately and not wanting to eat so I just assumed it was teething. But after two very long days of fussiness, no eating and serious diaper issues (these details I will gladly leave out) the doctor said he could have caught a minor stomach bug, or he could be teething but didn't seem to be worried about it at all. He is cutting tooth number five (I know, a little late) but don't you worry only having five teeth doesn't keep him from eating like a champ. He is growing up so quick and changing everyday. He can now say momma, dadda, and dog and points and makes sounds at lots of things (He tries to say nana for bananas but isn't quite there yet). He loves to play peek a boo, flip through books (for hours), dance, and be outside (any outside activity is good to him.) His favorite song is "The Wheels on the Bus." (He loves it!!) He also doesn't take a bottle anymore. He was only getting one at night, and shortly after he turned a year, we made the transition from bottle to sippy cup at night. He did great and really didn't even seem to miss it. His favorite food by far is bananas. He can't seem to get enough. We try to limit him to one banana a day. It's so funny when we go grocery shopping and he sees them, he gets so excited and wants to eat one in the cart. So now, I have to try to sneak the bananas in the cart which is very hard to do without him seeing the huge display. Gage also has no problem sleeping (thank goodness.) He goes to sleep at 7pm and typically sleeps till between 7-8 everyday. One day this week, I had to wake him at 9. (Growth spurt much) Anyway, He is an amazing little boy and we thank God everyday for the blessing he gave us! I will leave you with two videos of the Gage man showing off some of his latest tricks. The first one is a quick video of him dancing (before my battery died) and the second one is of him saying dog (kinda hard to hear) and showing off some moves from Gymboree class.
