Benny had his 12 month checkup yesterday. Our little boy is getting big. He is now 31 inches tall and weighs 21 1/2 pounds. That puts him in the 75 percentile in height and the 25 percentile in weight. The doctor recommended that we introduce Benny to eggs, peanut butter and whole milk. Foods that are high in protein and fat are what Benny needs right now. Even though Benny eats a lot of fruits and veggies, they don't contain many calories and Benny needs a lot of calories because he is so active. Benny had scrambled eggs for dinner last night and he seemed to like them. Brad also gave him a small spoonful of peanut butter and he liked that too.
Benny was a good boy for the doctor. He had to get 3 shots. He cried for a little bit but was soon back to his happy self. His next checkup is not until 18 months but the doctor wants to see him in 2 months to check his weight. Our job is to fatten up the kid. Not too much because Brad is concerned that Benny will have problems with weight just like he did growing up. Only time will tell.

Hey Lisa! Glad to hear he is walking now. I make PBJ sandwiches for the boys and put them in the freezer. They are so much less messier if they eat them frozen, plus they feel good on teething teeth!
Thanks for the advice. I will have to try that.
