A quick post following Matt's 12-month doctor visit yesterday.
He is very healthy and right on target for his milestones, as we know. He measured 32 inches long and weighed in at 24 pounds 10 ounces, although he was a bit squirmy on the scale so that may be a little low. The last of his first year molars showed up just in time for the doctor to count officially twelve teeth (four upper, four lower, and four molars). So far he seems to be feeling pretty well, if a bit sleepy, following his recent round of vaccinations and the blood test. Let's hope that continues!
A couple of milestones to mention: Matt has started stacking blocks. He got up to about 5 or 6 the other day before the tower fell over. (He'd still rather go through cabinets, drawers, and laundry baskets, though, and he's very interested in finding new places to store things.) He's also working on his next pair of words. So far he has been saying kitty and cat as well as Dada / Daddy. He now seems to want to say dog and stick, too. (No, no hints of Mama.)

A quick announcement: I'm going to switch to posting monthly now that Matt is a little bigger and a lot more active. I'll still post for holidays and pop in every so often with posts for milestones, other achievements, or special events.
Thank you for reading along so far. It's been a pleasure to share our adventures with you!
