Carter's 1 year checkup

I took Carter in last week for his year check up and here is his stats... Weight: 21 lbs. 15 oz. 45%
Height: 31" 90%

He's a BIG boy! At the appointment the Doctor was a little concerned about Carter coughing when he drank liquids so he referred me to a ENT. At that appt. the Dr. scoped his throat (which was SO fun) and said everything looked good but to keep an eye on how he is doing, he thinks he's aspirating as he drinks which makes him choke, so he coughs....which is just lovely. Hopefully he gets over it. It's worse when liquid comes out fast so I've had to give him his bottle back so he doesn't get dehydrated. He was drinking out of a sippy for 3 weeks so I feel like I took a step back but he's definitely doing a lot better. It's not so much a health concern as it is an annoyance for us because we had to give him his sippy and hold a towel under his chin because he would cough it up everywhere.

And Carter is WALKING, yeah! He started trying to walk a week or so before his birthday and is officially walking everywhere! He's still a little wobbly as you'll see from the video but it's still super cute. He also LOVES to dance and listen to music he's such a little sweetie we just love him to pieces!!!
