Lucas just had his 1 year old appointment with Dr. Chunn. He is off of the premmie charts and is 10% in weight, 25% in height, and 50% for head size. He isn't doing everything they asked about, but Dr. Chunn said because he is pointing and very social, none of the other milestones matter. He also said he would like to see him saying 3 words by 15 months and and 6 words by 18 months. He is very close to saying dog, but can't get the "g" sound yet.

It seems that once he turned 1, he has been doing so much, so fast. He waves, points, can find objects when asked, signs the word milk, dances, cruises, and is starting to gain more confidence standing alone. Last Thursday he took one step by himself. He hasn't done it since, but I am ok with him taking his time learning how to walk. I don't think I am ready for him to be that mobile yet!


Yesterday was my last day nursing Lucas. I have been dreading this day, as I really enjoyed the bonding we had breastfeeding. Since around 9 months, he has been slowly weaning himself. I would pump to keep my supply up, but I decided when he turned 1, I would quit pumping. Since then, he really only nursed in the mornings. Today was the first morning where he just didn't have the interest anymore. I guess my baby isn't much of a baby anymore. Moving on to toddlerhood.

Here is a video of him dancing (I apologize ahead of time for how annoying I sound). He gets so excited when he dances. It is really cute.

    Love the dancing! :) good job lucas... moving off the preemie charts like a big boy! Don't worry about the milestones yet. Maddie wasn't doing everything by her 12 mo. either. and I think she is pretty darn smart... (Although she never said "all done" at 9 mo. like Miles) But we can't compare! He is doing great. :) Can't wait to see him on Saturday.

    Very good dancing. Luckily it seems Lucas inherited my dancing rythm. He would probably dance more it Kevin didn't play that trashy music.

    Hey loved the music... the blue man show was great, I think that Lucas could possibly join them.
