I can't believe my baby is already a year old! (How many times have I said that in the last week??)
I took Caleb in to see Dr. Clarke today. When I say Caleb is "My Little Man," I'm not joking - he's only in the 25% for height, weight & head size! If you had asked me a year ago if I thought that was going to happen I'd have told you NO WAY! I was positive he was going to be my biggest baby yet! Goes to show why you shouldn't count your eggs before they hatch doesn't it!
Some stats:
*Caleb is 19 lbs 5 oz - the other 2 were over 20 @ 9 months!
*He has 5 teeth now (3 on top & 2 on bottom & he got the top 3 all in 1 week!!)
*He still doesn't walk, although, he is taking one or two steps without holding onto *anything in the last few days.
*He is 28 inches long.
*He can still fit into a size 6 months in clothes (depending on what it is).
*A size 3 shoe (they're tiny - go look at them!) is too BIG.
*I just turned his carseat forward today & he loved it! He waved bye bye to the house when we backed out of the garage!
*He LOVES chocolate, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, apples, ice cream, Cheerios, bananas, & peas (especially if he gets to throw the pod at you).
*He has decided to boycott baby food in the last week & will spit it back at you with a vengence.
*He's starting to get the hang of his sippy cup although, he does enjoy throwing that back at you too!
*He's drinking regular "moo juice" (milk) but likes it a little bit warm.
*He LOVES Grandma Terri's pool & the bathtub & throws a raging fit when he's taken out & made to wears clothing again.
*He thinks it's HILARIOUS when his brother &/or sister pretend to get hurt (fake fall, hit themselves, etc.).
*He likes to chase Charlotte & the poor kitten, Alice (SO cute), at daycare.
*He LOVES monkeys.
*He has this tiny, soft, yellow lamb he got when he was born that he must have to go to sleep & likes to drag just about everywhere that he loves to chew on because he completely weened himself off his binki about a month ago. (We call it "Mimi.")
*He likes to stick his tongue out & wiggle it back and forth at you.
*He says "Dada" but refuses to say "Mama!"
And last but not least:
He has got the most contagious laugh & smile that will absolutely melt your heart in an instant!
I keep telling myself I need to post some fun stuff about the other two kids but this post has gotten long enough so I will do that another time!
Hey, ya we will be in the valley untill mid September. Justin is going on his pack trip the 14th so after that. We looked at a lot of houses but didn't quite find what we wanted. So we found a condo thing that we will probably rent that is a few miles from OSU. We'll do that for a few months untill we can find a place to buy. I don't know where he'll find the time but Justin wants to do a flip. So I guess we'll see. I just follow along :)
ReplyDeleteThat is SOOOO fun to read Misty. What a sweet baby and it sounds like he is doing awesome even if he is on the small scale. :) Don't feel too bad about that though, he won't make your arms tired like my chubby son.
