First haircut

Matt and I just love Rylan's little curls, but they were long overdue for a trim. Rylan is one busy kiddo and that made me a bit concerned for his safety during a hair cut. Thankfully the lady who cut his hair was really fast and I felt totally comfortable that she wouldn't accidentally let those clippers slip. It was interesting to see Rylan's reaction to the haircutting experience. He was totally confused for the majority of it. His curiosity kicked in near the end and he started pulling the hair lady's tools off of her apron. It was pretty funny. My baby looks like a handsome little boy with his new cut!

12 Month Check Up

Rylan weighed in at 23.8 lbs and 29.75" at his 12 month wellness check. That's 70% in weight and 50% in height. I was caught by surprise when the pediatrician announced these statistics. Rylan is a bit of a chunky monkey so the weight was to be expected, but only 50th percentile in height? He went from 70th to 50th percentile within a matter of three months so I'm not sure I even believe it. I'm not dissapointed, just a bit surprised. Rylan has plenty of time to catch up and if he doesn't it doesn't really matter anyways. He's a cutie either way!

A few other recent developments:

• Rylan's top 2 front teeth have poked through and they seem to be pretty painful. Poor kid! I'm sure glad I don't remember when my teeth started coming in because I'd probably be a little grumpy too.
• Rylan is no longer eating formula. He eats big people food and milk all the time now.
• Rylan took 4 steps on his own! He'll be walking before we know it.
