1 YEAR!!!

It is nearly impossible for me to really comprehend that little Lee is already one year old! This past year has been such a blessing with our sweet little boy! Here are his 1 year stats:
Weight- 26 lbs. (80th percentile)
Height- 31.5 inches (93rd percentile)
Head Circumference- 20 in. (off the chart!)

It's amazing how many new things he has started doing in the past month. He pulls up to his feet to stand and holds on while he moves around on the furniture or his musical table. He sways back and forth and dances as he makes the music play. He has just recently started walking with the assistance of his push walker too! It's so fun watching him waddle around. He continues to babble and has made mommy so proud with his newest sound "mama", though it's usually more of a "mamamama". Still a sweet sound! Lee loves cars, trucks, planes, etc. and stops whatever he is doing when he hears one outside. He stands on the couch and watches the garbage truck drive by, occasionally even offering a wave to the men :) He is a giggly boy and laughs all the time, which of course makes others laugh too. I think he's going to be like his daddy that way! He has a funny little laugh he does to get peoples' attention, but the best is when he gets super tickled and can't catch his breath because he is laughing so hard. What a ham! Doors are his best friend these days. He will open and close any door he can...gotta watch him closely :) Lee is learning to put things away and will put a few of his toys back in a box with some help from us, of course. He is fascinated by any animal and tries to "talk" to them. He points at everything and says, "eh eh eh" which usually means he wants me to give it to him. Once I say "no", the bottom lip comes out...well that's not new :) Lee eats mostly table food now and drinks whole milk in his cup with each meal. He also got his first molar on his birthday! Definitely wasn't an easy process so I'm glad at least one is in. We are all sleeping better now :) We are so thrilled that our little boy is growing and developing so well! He brings us more and more joy each day and we can't wait to watch him grow this year. We love you, Lee!!

(Sorry for some of the annoying details. This is mostly a memory aid for me.)


so focused watching the garbage truck
happy boy!
enjoying mommy's cell phone...some things never change :)
