Doctor 12 months

Our doctor changed locations to the clinic at the hospital, so we decided to follow her there (she invited her favorite patients, yay us).  She doesn't have a lot of appointments because she is mainly teaching other doctors there, so it took awhile to get Kellan in for his 12 month appointment.

Unfortunately the day before his appointment he required a visit to the walk-in.  He had a cough for a couple days, but nothing too bad- just a couple here and there.  Our babysitter called after he was dropped off and said he coughed until he threw up and he was having a hard time catching his breath, so Andy went and got him.

Poor little guy had bronchiolitis (the child version of bronchitis) so they gave him a nebulizer which he did not enjoy.

I think it helped him breathe though, because he actually fell asleep with it on (and this kid doesn't fall asleep on people much).

She said his lungs sounded MUCH better afterwards.  She gave a prescription and said not to fill it until our doctor checked him the following day to make sure he needed it.

The next day Andy took the boys to the regular doctor, and turns out his lungs sounded great and he didn't need the prescription! Yay.

Kellan is 22 lbs 10 oz and 30 inches.  He didn't get any shots because he got some less than a month ago and you have to wait a month if you get a live vaccine.  Andy was proud because they give you a checklist of milestones (such as "puts arms though sleeves when dressing" or "clapping toys together") and he answered yes to every one!

Afterwards he took the boys to Bradley Lake, which we haven't been to since Sawyer was tiny (it is so awfully crowded all the time) so they loved it.

What Kellan does now:

-Walks quickly and is to the point there is no falling unless he actually trips
-Makes sounds like he is talking in sentences
-Says the normal sounds but no words on purpose- even though we got him to repeat "awesome" to us about 20 times the other night.
-Helps put on his clothes in the sense that he holds up legs for diaper changes, sticks his legs straight for pants on, and pushes his arms through the sleeves
-Plays like Sawyer by doing things like pushing trucks around with him
-Starting to understand things in his head more- I saw him find a sock on the ground and he walked over and put it in the laundry basket.
-Eats anything. I have yet to see him spit anything out and I've fed him things like mushrooms, tomatoes, and other things a lot of kids don't like as much.
-Drinks out of all sippy cup types and no longer uses bottles
-Waves and claps
-Likes to kick Sawyer in the head if they're both in their car seats in the Pathfinder and Sawyer lays his head down.  He's actually really cute in the car- he sings and talks to himself and always kicks his feet around on the seat. I like that his new car seats allow him and Sawyer to look at each other and play versus his old bucket seat that he couldn't see over the side.  It makes them have fun in the car.

That is all I can think of for now.
