Kellan @ 1 year

I feel like I should write about what Kellan's up to @ 1 year of age. Mainly so I don't forget, I guess. He had his one year 4-7-09, a week after he turned one. All is well. He weighed in @ 19.13 lbs (light weight) But was 29 1/2 inches tall. His head was 19 inches around that put him in the 90% for his age. Yup, his heads a little big, so I'm told, I think its perfect.


He has 2 full grown bottom teeth and one pretty good sized one on his top left. His top right, you can see what looks like a little piece of rice shinning thru the gums.

We have been trying to transition from a bottle to milk in the sippy, but he doesn't like the sippy much, nor does he really know how to use it. He has somehow learned how to drink out of a straw so I had to find him lidded cups with a straw for his big boy milk. He is a great self feeder and eats most of everything. His favs include, pasta, rice, beans, peas, peaches, yogurt, toast, puffy things, cheese, and chicken to name a few.

With all the changes and activity that have been going on( Granny here, b-day party, painful knotted up chicken pox shot site, no bottle) He hasn't been sleeping as good at night as he used to. As yall remember, he was sleeping 12 + hours thru the night by 2 1/2 months. Doc says its normal for him to wake up at night, I think he says that only because his 15 month old has never slept all night, I think he's always trying to curse us !! Hopefully we will soon get back on track and back to our old schedule of a long peaceful cesta!!


Is he walking you say ?? Not really, but so close. He pulls up on everything and cruses around. He will stand for a split second on his own. He loves to push his shopping cart and truck around.


Saying any words ?? Some say he's talking, the ones that aren't around him all the time, to us its still babble. He has started this new um ah, um ah thing that he will do about 20 times in a row. Its super cute and when he does the um-lips touching, ah- mouth open.


He is quite the "ham" and loves lot of attention, can you tell?

All and all Kellan is now a big boy and "thriving". He is such a joy and can't imagine a day without him. It's hard to believe a whole year has gone by.
