1-year checkup |

We just got back from the pediatrician.
Benjamin is still 50th percentile for weight and 90th for height.
Doctor W said that by 18th months old, a normal baby has 5 words other than mama and dada. We said Benjamin had more than that already, plus a bunch of signs. He asked if Benjamin is starting to throw little tantrums, and Nathalie said that he'd just started to do so and that he's begun to test all limits. The doctor said that 12 months was early for that behavior, but that it made sense given Benjamin's advanced verbal development. (And I had the definite impression he didn't quite grasp how advanced Benjamin is, even though he was signing and saying words with me while Nathalie and the doctor talked.)
