One year old!

And just like that, our little baby boy is one years old!  Here is what he's up to:



Teeth - 4
Weight and Height -- official stats from dr. will be in on Friday
Clothing size - 12-18 month
Nightly sleep - 1-2 wake-ups usually.  He did sleep through the night once this past week, so hopefully that is in our future!
Consecutive steps taken -- 10, but usually only 3-4
Favorite toys -- ring stacker, farm, remote
Favorite activities -- bath time, wrestling with big bro, eating
Words: mom, dad, all done
Favorite food:  Eats about anything, but loves fruit!

We are just so in love with this little boy and love learning more about his personality each day.  He is a pretty content little guy and happily plays alone when he's in familiar situations.  He's always been pretty overwhelmed in large groups of people and his first defense was to sleep.  The holidays and his birthday showed us his new defense is to cling to Mom like crazy.  He's such a happy, goofy little guy and has lots of smiles to share.  He cheeses pretty good for the camera (and the ladies behind us at church).

If I remember correctly, year 1-2 was one of my favorite stages with Caleb, so I'm really looking forward to this year with Calvin.  I remember it being such a year of discovery and curiosity.  I am a little fearful as climbing began this week and this little guy appears to be a bit of a daredevil!!!

51 weeks old




Someone has actually been cuddly this week. 
Well try as we might, Calvin has no interest in getting any better at walking.  He hasn't really taken any more stars and seems to get annoyed when I try to get him to, so I'm just going to leave him alone for a bit.

Calvin enjoyed Christmas with my side of the family this week and had a blast playing with his cousin Sarah.  He's a big fan of babies and was really gentle to her.

Working on some more teeth this week.  We had to give him Motrin last night to help him sleep.  He is NOT a fan of Motrin, so it was quite the feet to get it in him, but he did finally take it. Oh and by some teeth, I'm counting 4-6 trying to come through!  The top two front teeth for sure, but I'm pretty sure all four up top and two more on the bottom...
