Simon-1 Year!

Official Stats:
  • Weight: 20#10oz, 18th percentile
  • Length: 29 3/4", 49th percentile
  • Weight-for-Length: 30th percentile
  • Head Circumference: 18 1/4", 49th percentile
  • Skills recently learned-walking (11 months), drinking from a regular cup (11 months)
  • Words: none really, uses the sounds "mama" and "dada" but not in accurate context, usually communicates by shrieking very loudly and it's usually used to get a drink or more food.  He's learning how to use "mmm" (for more) instead of screaming and he's doing very well with that but reverts to the screams if I don't respond quickly enough.  We're trying to teach the signs for "more" and "all done" but he's not interested yet.
  • Has two front bottom teeth.

Simon's Likes:
  • Bathtime
  • Holding his bedtime blankets clasped in his fists near his face while he falls asleep. 
  • Crawling up our stairs. 
  • Playing peek-a-boo.
  • Trying to run when we say "I'm going to get you".  
  • Pretty much all food (with exceptions listed below).
  • Playing
  • Swinging

Dislikes
  • Being mauled by Eliza
  • Riding in the car for too long
  • Avocados or mashed potatoes (regular or sweet), all types of squash

That's a great picture! 1 is such a huge milestone. I stopped being quite so nervous right around then with Layla. He can drink out of a regular cup? I need to start giving Layla opportunities to do that!

It's nice to get caught up again! You're pictures are great and it looks like you've been having some fun. We went to Yellowstone last year, so many of your pictures look very familiar! And hooray that Brian is nearing the end!!!
