12-Month Stats

We were a little late in going to his 1-year check-up at the end of last month, so here's the low-down.

Owen is wearing 12-mo and 18-mo clothes. He's pretty tall, and there's the head issue, so a lot of 12-mo clothes are getting harder to fit. He's still in size 3 diapers for now, but can wear size 4 fine too...just have to cinch a bit more!

At his check-up, he was:

Weight: 22 lbs 14 oz - 50%
Height: 31 in - 80%
Head: 80%

He is so active and loves life right now. Being one certainly agrees with this little guy! He has recently fallen in love with playing ball. He has small, medium and large rubber balls that he will pick up and walk around the house with. He can get get them when asked and even throws them to you as well. He is also saying, Mamma, Dadda and now BALL! He's a genius. He chatters all the time now too!

He has started playing chase with me too. It is SOOOO much fun! I'll say, "I'm going to get you...," and he takes off! He has the funniest laugh lately that sounds like a little Tarzan. Silly boy. He still stalks Ryker and tackles him often. Poor dog. He loves hanging with his dad outside and taking bubble baths together. We have pretty well child-proofed the house, because this kid gets into everything! The cabinets, the toilet, climbing the fire place, climbing stairs at others' houses, climbing the wall (ok, maybe not)...This kid will not let life pass him idly by! No, sir!! 

So far, Owen is still a pretty good napper with two naps most days. He's eating table foods and whole milk like a champ, and down to two nursings a day. The END IS IN SIGHT!! We have quite enjoyed having afternoon snacks together and we do pretty good at restaurants if we don't stay too long!

I have to say, I love this new stage in Owen's life. He's learning every day. He is funny and clever. He is strong-willed (not so fun all the time) and determined. He can figure out things very quick (again, hard for mom and dad to stay on top of some days!). Here's to a great 2nd year. You're amazing kiddo!

Thanks, Lydia @ LMNovations for the great photos!
