Its time for all the babies to be toddlers and have their 1yr visits... So let's discuss..

GA: 39w3d

Stats:
Ht 30.1 inches
Wt 22.1 lbs
Head 13 something I think?

No weaning yet. I plan to continue our current breastfeeding shtick (3-4×a day) at least until the new year. We are traveling back to the states for Christmas and it will just be easier to not bother weaning/introducing WCM until after that trip.

Z is walking independently, has a handful of words in his vocabulary, a mouth full of teeth (8 so far). I suspect he may be cutting molars soon, Lord help me.

Gestational Age: 39w 6d
Stats at Visit: 21lbs 1oz and I don't trust the height they told me.
Have we weaned off anything yet? Starting to transition from formula. Start the day with a 50/50 split and end with the same. About 16oz total.
What can our toddlers do?
We're not walking yet, but this week he's really started standing for longer periods of time. He climbs the stairs, and has figured out how to back himself off the couch. He has 4 teeth and is working on 5 and 6.

Gestational Age: 37w3d

Stats at Visit: 16lb 10.5 oz (1% woohoo!), 27in (0% heh), forget head but
that was 3%

Have we weaned off anything yet? We've been working on weaning since his birthday almost a month ago. As of this week, he is fully only whole milk during the day (nurses before bed and when he first gets up in the morning) and is off of bottles and onto straw cups completely.

What can our toddlers do?
He's currently into climbing anything and everything even though he can't stand on his own or walk yet. We don't have any meaningful words either, but I'm not worried just yet because he does babble all day long. He's got 2 teeth and maybe one more on the way. He can also eat his weight in food.

[Gestational Age:38.5 wks

Stats at Visit: 20.5 lbs, 29" tall, 18" head (he said about 50% across the board)

Have we weaned off anything yet? Not really. Just introducing more solids. I'm going to keep BF for a little while longer and then maybe shoot for introducing WCM in a few weeks so by the time our Xmas trip rolls around, I don't need to pump or bring BM to supplement.

]What can our toddlers do? She can walk a bit, minimal talking, has started signing back to us. She is just so fun!

Gestational Age 34 weeks
Stats at Visit 18.4 lbs, 30.5 inches and can't remember head but he's in 70%. E went from 10th percentile in height to 70th!! He was anemic but I already had his follow up and no more anemia. He also gained a pound and a half in the past month. My little preemie is starting to catch up!
Have we weaned off anything yet? I started him on WCM mixed with whatever BM I pumped during the day.
What can our toddlers do? He's taking a few steps on his own, as long as we start him off with some help. I don't have to ask for a kiss anymore. I just pucker my lips and he plants a big wet one on me and then giggles lol.

Gestational Age: 39W 2D
Stats at Visit 24 lbs lol girl likes to eat and 31"
Have we weaned off anything yet? We are down to 2 bottles a day and almost to 1. She likes her bottle though.
What can our toddlers do? She does all the hand motions to itsy bitsy spider (adorable), she sayd about 7 words and she wants to climb and touch everything. Can't even take my eyes off her for a 1/2 second. She is SUPER busy especially compared to my first who was so chill and really didn't touch much.

[winogirl]

Gestational Age: 39w
Stats at Visit 22.5# / 30" - his head is 95 percentile lol
Have we weaned off anything yet? nope
What can our toddlers do? we've got speedy crawling and climbing on everything. Still no talking or walking. He used to sign milk but has stopped doing that. He seems to be signing "all done" and waves hi/bye. If I ask for a hug he doesn't get the arm part down but leans into me and rests his head on my chest or shoulder and smiles - super cute

[fuzzylogic]

Gestational Age: 40w1d

Stats at Visit 21.7 lbs, 30.7in, head was 99th percentile, can't remember the measurement

Have we weaned off anything yet? Not yet, but she doesn't drink nearly as much breastmilk during the day at daycare. She's started whole milk there just fine.

What can our toddlers do? Walking, starting to climb onto things (both H and I were in the room with her yesterday and we blinked and she was standing on the ottoman...just suicidal, man), asking "that?" while pointing, waving bye-bye, giving hugs, starting to give kisses, saying uh-oh. I think she's right on the verge of saying a lot of real words, since she's asking what everything is.

Don't feel bad, DS was just under 31 inches and 26lbs...at his 9 month appt. I'm excited/nervous about his 1 yr stats this Thursday. DS2 had the same stats at 9 months that DS1 had at 1 yr haha

I didn't realize how small weight wise DD was until this thread. She seems right on track but man, she would be little next to some of your babes!

[sunfrogger88]

GA: 41w2d

Stats: 24.0 lbs, 31.3in, head is 68th % on par with curve so far.

No more bottles, we're now taking our breastmilk from a sippy. 1-2 a day so we will presumably switch to WCM during the day at lunch once I eventually stop pumping

We do all the things. We run, show 1 for how old we are, show nose, ears, eyes, belly, hair, mouth. We do how big. We respond to simple commands. (Sit down, stand up, sit in my lap, go get a book, give to mom/dad etc). We sign please, thank you and more. We wave hi, bye, we clap, we blow kisses.

Have we weaned off anything yet? He is still nursing when with me. He has food and WCM from a sippy cup when at daycare
What can our toddlers do? He can walk and he is fast. No clear words yet but he is communicating with noises and pointing.

Mine is even smaller than yours.  I think some kids just get their growth spurts at different ages.
