Quick update

Noel had his appointment today. It went pretty well (no shots!). He has caught up ever so slightly on his growth curve: at 17 1/2 pounds, he's about 10th percentile in weight, up from 5th. Maybe by one year, he'll have caught up even more. He's a good eater, so I wouldn't be surprised.

I forgot to mention that Noel is crawling and pulling up to a high kneel. As a result, he's started getting into things and knocking over small trash cans. The fun begins! It's even more fun now that I've got a three-year-old with all his small, choking-hazard-type toys. To make matters worse, Dom's obsessed with removing batteries from anything he can get his hands on. Our living room floor is littered with tiny screws, battery compartment covers, and batteries from various toys. We're putting an end to that.

Still no news to report toilet-wise. I'm hoping Dom's grandma can work some magic when he stays with her this weekend. Only one month and two days until preschool! The pressure's on.
