I know it's cruel, but we went this morning to the doctor for Ethan's check-up and shots.
He was 28" long and weighed 18 pounds 12 ounces. He is in the 5th percentile for both of these. Dr. Michael said he's not concerned because they are both the same, but after we see the pulmonologist in 1 week, they might talk about doing some blood tests just to be sure everything is fine. He said Ethan seems to be developing fine, so he's probably just smaller than average, but those percentiles change all the time. Dr. Michael also treated Ethan for a sinus infection since he has had a runny nose for a while.
I just can't even believe it's been a year! When we moved to Glendale I was almost exactly halfway through my pregnancy and now he turns 1 today! Ethan has been so fun. He is almost always smiling! Unlike Elia when she was a baby, Ethan is a pretty good cuddler. He loves to be held and often puts his head down to rest on your shoulder. He loves to eat and will eat anything! He has eaten chicken curry, vegetarian pizza and salsa chicken (just to name a few). He always seems to know if you are eating something better than what you've given him. As of now he has four teeth, is crawling and walks by holding on to furniture. He does the sign for "drink", but he signs "more" by pointing at what he wants. He will smile most readily for Elia and even when we think she is being too rough, he giggles and laughs at her.
Here is a look back at growing up:

He is such a cutie - and you do such a great job of capturing his little personality! I hope everything goes ok with the pulmonologist (sp?). After Thunderkids, I can attest to how much he'll eat too! ha ha
