He's on the charts!

Yes, my baby is now in the 95th percentile for weight! It only took a year. Maddox's official 1 year stats are 27 lbs 9 ounces (I also weighed his diaper and cover which weighs 5.5 ounces, so he's actually 27-3.5), 30 3/4 inches long (75th percentile), and a 19 inch head (90 something percentile). He got his finger poked to check his hemoglobin which was terrific and we'll be getting his lead level back in a couple of days (standard test). He didn't even cry getting his finger poked. What a trooper!

Maddox is walking all over the place and trying to run like crazy. He's all over this apartment! He can repeat pretty much any word that you say. He knows a lot of animal noises and can say and point out his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. He loves to give hugs now and will come running if you put your arms out. He's our little musician dancing, drumming and playing music all the time. He's absolutely obsessed with balls of all shapes and sizes. He still loves to nurse, but is enjoying eating more and more. He tries to be mister independent using his own spoon and fork, but it's quite messy. He's in his second round of swimming lessons at the Wise Swim School and loves it! We're also still doing Music Together class, which he gets more in to every time we go. He's a total social butterfly and full of energy. Going out to eat is now posing to be a challenge since he can walk. He just constantly says "down" and wants to tear up the place. Also, I'm pretty sure he's becoming a curious toddler now. It's happening so fast!

On the house front, the drywall is up and the ceiling is sprayed. Next is paint, cabinets, flooring, and MOVING IN! The estimated completion is January 22nd.
