check ups

The week of July 29th started out with Caden's one year check up on Monday morning. He ended up having another ear infection, so while his fever from last week was likely unrelated, he still wasn't feeling great. Since he had two ear infections so close together, we scheduled a follow up ear check in a couple weeks, and she even mentioned tubes, although we weren't quite to 6 in a season, she thought there was a good chance he was heading in that direction. Everything else besides his ears checked out great, and she was happy with where he was developmentally. She guessed that he would be a 14 month walker. Caden weighed in at 22 lbs 14 oz (70%) and measured 30.25" long (62%).


Then on Tuesday morning, Zane had his next 6 month dentist check up. He did great sitting in the big boy chair again, and this time he had his teeth checked out, counted, brushed for a really long time and even flossed. He's continuing his trend of really liking the dentist, but not the hygienist so much. He also said "no thank you" very quickly to the spinning tooth polisher. Maybe next time he will be big enough!
Our daycare had a family social we got to go to on Thursday evening, and Caden made the big switch to one nap with his classmates that week. He was a little extra emotional the first few days, but settled into his new routine pretty quickly.


That weekend we went to a nearby park to go fly Zane's Spider-Man kite. He had been asking to fly his kite for a really long time, and we finally followed through. It was a pretty hot day, and it involved a lot of running, so once Zane was tuckered out, he was happy to put it away for a little while.
