Birthday Boy Stats...

We took Donovan in for his one year check up yesterday and he seems to be doing great! You would never of guessed that he was not even on the charts for weight and height just 3 months ago!

Here's a recap of his stats at 9 months old:
Weight: 15 lbs
Length: 25 1/4 inches
(he wasn't even on the charts)

Yesterday (12 months):
Weight: 21 lbs 15 ounces
Length: 29 inches
(he is in between the 25-50% now)

No worries with him at all anymore!

So I guess I will make this Van's official Bday post when I share more about him!

Van-man is a GREAT little boy (so different from his sister at this age). He LOVES life and usually always has a smile on his face! He doesn't cry often (unless VERY tired or hungry)....or if sister is around (b/c she's usually picking on him).

He's still army crawling (he knows how to crawl on hands and knees) but the dr seems to think that he might skip that altogether and just start walking. he's cruising along everywhere. He just started walking holding on to one hand (albeit a bit wobbly).

He LOVES to play outside in the sandbox and swimming pool. He just loves water in general, if he hears the tub water running you can know for sure that in a very short time you will have a little boy standing next to you trying to climb in the tub (he climbs on everything)!!


His current words (which the dr was impressed with since most kids his age only say 1-2 other words besides mommy and daddy) are ball, baby, puppy, stay (talking to Lincoln), bye-bye, all done, Bobbi (neighbor lady's name), and hi. He can sign all done, more, and eat.

Here's a short video of him playing outside with a toy he got from his birthday.
