Mitchell is 13 months old! When I told Jacob it was "chair picture day" yesterday morning, he said "Isn't that over now that he's one? You know he's going to outgrow that chair at some point, right?" I responded, "Yes, and then we will get a new chair!" Ha!
We had his well-baby check up with the pediatrician yesterday too:
Height - 31 inches - 75% percentile
Weight - 26 lbs, 4 oz - 90% percentile
Our little giant isn't quite as giant as he once was! It's nice to see him back on the charts :)
She was surprised that he could already say up to 10 words, but seemed to think that based on the number of words that he spoke he'd be able to follow short commands by now. "Mitchell, bring that to momma" type commands, which he doesn't always do...sometimes, yes, but it's still unpredictable. She said that'll probably be the next thing to look for.
Jacob and I usually try to come up with a list of questions to ask her when we go, and food related ones topped this visit's list.
Question #1 How many bananas is to many to eat in one day? No kidding! Her answer - 3! Good thing he usually only has 2 :)
Question #2 Is it okay to feed him soy milk instead of cow's milk? Her answer -Yes, as long as it has the fat that he needs for brain development.
Question #3 What foods should we continue to avoid giving him? Her answers: a) Eggs - oops! He's been eating them for sometime now! b) Peanut butter - oops! Jacob and I are peanut butter fanatics and Mitchell wants a bite of anything and everything we have, so he's certainly had peanut butter. c) Shellfish - opps! He ate Lobster on his first birthday! Guess we failed this test, but he's never had a reaction to any of them, so lucky us! :)

as far as responding to commands... Mitchell is probably just busy doing equations in his head, or trying to calculate how many things he can fit into the printer!! He is a smarty pants boy :)
Also.... glad to see the chair pics continue!
d-_-b ... a monkey for Mitchell! - Katy
I've been wondering about his "stats" and figured he would have an appointment around the one year mark. I needed some proof to my theory that he was getting skinny!
If I remember right, you have two larger chairs in your house. Seems like Mitchell can take his monthly pictures until he's off to college!(Be sure Jacob is aware of this. . . ) :-)
