Here are his stats from his 1 year appointment that I forgot to post. Eric had to take him because I was DOG sick. I'm actually kind of glad I missed it because he had to get his blood drawn through a finger prick and his MMR shots. :( Eric thinks the lady took his length measurements wrong, so we aren't super confident in his recorded length, but his weight looks just about right... long and skinny.
Height: 29.5 inches
Weight: 20 lbs 7 oz.
Head: 47cm
Here are some updates/milestones:
- He loves to look at his books.
- In-and-out is his new favorite game, taking stuff out of boxes/bins/cubicles/etc and putting them back in.
- He loves to go for walks, especially when he can watch all the comotion.
- He LOVES watching the garbage truck/fedex man/etc. He's not waving at them yet, but they all wave at him and blow the horn to their trucks. :)
- He loves to eat: waffles, O's, pancakes, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, cantalope, watermelon, pears, peaches, kiwi, bananas (really any fruit!), green beans, spaghetti, beans, rice....
- He loves strangers, all of them!
- He loves going to nursery!
- He has favorite pages on his books, it's really cute to see him turn immediately to them.
- He love Ella!
- He loves cars!
- He LOVES to swing and clap while he's swinging, so cute!
- He loves riding in the shopping cart.
- He love to climb stairs and is attempting to scoot down them backwards.
- He talks gibberish all day long, I'm still waiting on a word to pop in there.
- He's not walking yet, but it's oh so close. He can shimmy down the side of a wall and transfer. He's started to stand and take his hands off of whatever he's holding for a couple of seconds and then quickly grab it again. I'm thinking he'll be walking at 14/15 months.
- He loves to facetime/skype!
- He will unroll a whole roll of toilet paper, so I've had to remove all paper from their rings. :)
- He loves to shake things (spices, coffee cans).
- He's facing forward in his carseat and loves it!
- Most of his 12 month clothes fit spot on, but he's outgrowing some.
- He is in size 4 diapers.
- He's sleeping through the night! This has been going on since about 10.5/11 months. Thank goodness!
- He's still doing 2 naps a day.
- He still only has his 6 teeth, I'm waiting and waiting for the others to start making their appearance.
- He's becoming more and more brave, crawling over top of everything (see the photo below)!
- He weaned this weekend (Sunday 6/9 to be exact). He was starting to self wean, he dropped two nursing sessions on his own within two days. I then kept it to two- a- day for 2 weeks, then dropped the session after his first nap. The last to go was his morning nursing session right after he wakes up. I kept us to one-a-day for 2 weeks, then just dropped the last one. I soaked in that last session. He hasn't even thought twice about it.... so sad, my baby boy is a toddler!

AND, our final news.................
We're home owners (almost)! We close on a house on June 20th and move July 2nd. Crazy, but true! Hopefully that news makes up for the lack of posts the last couple of months.
