the numbers are in

miles had his 12 month appointment today. he was less than thrilled with the shots, but just as unimpressed with the strangers who wanted to weigh him, measure him, and look in his ears (all clear!). he actually got over the needle thing relatively quickly and was back to signing "sleep" within seconds. note to self: make dr appointments earlier! he's tucked in bed now and will be out for awhile. here are the latest stats:

weight: 22lbs 14oz (52%)
height: 31.5 in (94%)
head: 19.3 in (>97%)

so basically this confirms our dilemma with pants - he's tall and thin. as the nurse measured him, she said, "well this is a first for me; I've never measured a one year old this tall!" anyone know where we can find a baby belt? seriously - it's almost comical! he usually looks like he's gone gangsta on us and sagged his pants. not a look we are going for. he's gained only about a pound and a half since 9 mo, but they aren't concerned. apparently that's normal given his change in eating habits and mobility. it was nice to get the all clear. and now just for fun:
