BIG EXCITING NEWS!!!!

Last week at his 1yr check up, our little man, gained weight. I mean really gained weight. As in, he has jumped a couple of growth curve lines! Between 9 months and 12 months (+12 days) he gained 4 pounds! That means he went from 18lbs just below the 20% to 22.2 (to be exact) which is just above the 50%! This also means there is a whole whopping 6 pound difference between him and Laurelei right now.....hmm any guesses on how long it might take him to catch up to her? He held steady at 29 inches long/tall, so he has mostly just filled out, and continues to eat. It was really nice to have a check up at which I didn't get a lecture on feeding him more. Maybe I can put a check on the good mommy side.

However, his really big exciting news.....he is walking!!! or more specifically toddling between people and things.

First steps were to Grandma. Next steps were to Grandpa, and he caught on to the game quick and kept them busy for a while. He refused to walk to me.

After a trip to Chuck E Cheese and the zoo, where he did some more practicing, he did walk to me and show me his skills personally.


Oh yea, one more piece of exciting news.....




He's busy walking to Daddy!!!
