One Year Update

I still can’t believe that we have a one-year old!  The little man had his checkup this week and did great.  He weighed in at 22 pounds 3 ounces and is 29.5 inches long.  That puts him right around the 50th percentile. Everyone at the office commented on how cute and happy he was (until he got shots).  I am always so proud of him!

Pete continues to change so fast.  He is talking up a storm and I love hearing his little voice. One of my favorite things is when he wakes up in the morning or from a nap and just sits in his crib talking and reading his books.  His voice is so sweet and he has full conversations with his toys and I just can’t get enough of it.  He says car (with a Boston accent) and when you ask him what sound a car makes, he says “vroom vroom”.  He also says thank you “gak goo” and wow.  When he’s in his high chair, crib or on the changing table, he loves to throw whatever is in his hand overboard and say “uh oh”.  Pete crawls up the stairs like a champ and knows to turn around and slide down the stairs on his belly.  He’s too smart.  He also knows that at this point, crawling is much faster than walking.  I’m excited for him to take his first solo steps … though I think he’s going to be one of those kids that goes from crawling right to running!

Pete loves to play on his new slide; he climbs up one side, and then turns around and slides down on his belly.  He says “weeee” the whole way down.

Pete also had a little birthday party.  He tasted a Hoodsie for the first time (and loved it) and was spoiled with love, attention and presents.  We had such a fun day, and were so excited to celebrate with the little man.

As always, we’re excited to see what’s in store for the little guy in the months to come!  Hopefully I’ll have a bunch of new pictures to post soon too!
