June 2010 (1 year old). I didn't care for my birthday party much. I refused to eat my cake, even though I think it looked good. I didn't want to get my hands dirty. For some reason, daddy said that mommy needs to let me play outside more. I don't know what that has to do with cake. I am a very active little boy now. I love to crawl around and play with my toys. When I get mad I throw anything that is in sight. Mommy doesn't seem to like that though. I am still not walking, but I can walk around furniture and with my walker really well. My stats:
Height: 32.5 inches (above 97%)
Weight: 22 lbs, 13 ounces (50%)
Head: 18.75 inches (75%)
May 2010 (11 months old). Mommy bought me a pool to swim in, but it is still too cold to put outside. So, instead, she blew it up and I got to play with it (without water) in the house. I had so much fun. I am also talking alot now; I can say dadda, mama, duck and ball. I get so excited when other people can understand me.
April 2010 (10 months old). It is starting to get nice outside now, and one of my favorite things to do is goto the park with Mommy and Daddy. I hate the swing, but just love the slide and tetor-toter. I also have mastered standing in my crib, so when I wake up now, I stand up and yell for someone to come get me.
March 2010 (9 months old). I still love getting into stuff. The fridge is my favorite. Mommy says I'm not supposed to play in there, but daddy lets me sometimes. I started swimming lessons this month, and I LOVE them! I get to be in a class with 4 other babies, and we have so much fun! I also upgraded to a 'big boy' car seat this month. I outgrew my other one, even though I should have been able to use it until I was 1 year old. My stats:
Height: 29.5 inches (90%)
Weight: 19 lbs, 14 ounces (40%)
Head: 18 inches (75%)
The doctor says I'm slimming down because I'm so active.
February 2010 (8 months old). I am really starting to get into EVERYTHING! I am a very curious baby, and I want to find out about everything that is going on. I even pull myself up on stuff now (cupboards, stools) and my mommy always looks scared. She tells me I have no fear and that I am going to fall.
January 2010 (7 months old). I learned how to do a normal crawl this month, and also started climbing up a few stairs. Mommy keeps talking about how she has to 'baby proof' the house. I don't know what that is, but I don't think I like it. I am now also sitting up in the bathtub. No more of this laying down stuff, I want to sit up and play!
December 2009 (6 months old). I finally learned how to move, I can do an 'army crawl' (that's what mommy and daddy call it). I love moving around, and can get to my toys now without much help. My stats this month were:
Height: 28 inches (95%)
Weight 18 lbs, 2 ounces (55%)
Head: 17.75 inches (95%)
I'm slimming down a little, but am still tall and have a big head :)
November 2009 (5 months old). I got my first two teeth this month! Mommy and daddy had no idea because I wasn't crabby at all, they just came in. I was hoping that I could eat some Thanksgiving turkey because I had teeth, but I guess I'm still too young. Next year for sure! My favorite activity right now is reading. I love my 'baby giggles' book.
October 2009 (4 months old). Probably my favorite thing to do is eat. I started getting solid foods now, and I can't get enough! I will eat anything that mommy and daddy feed me. I am also working on my neck muscles by doing lots of tummy time. Sometimes I get crabby when I have to lay on my tummy though. Mommy tells me it's good for me. My stats from my 4 month visit were:
Height: 26.5 inches (94%)
Weight: 16 lbs, 2 ounces (75%)
Head: 17 inces (75%)
I don't understand where I am getting my height from, but I am a tall baby!
September 2009 (3 months old) - Mommy had to go back to work this month, which I didn't like. Her and daddy picked out a great daycare for me though, and I just love Shelli and Carrie. I'm starting to really become a ham now, and love smiling for the camera. I learned how to roll over this month (from tummy to back) and mommy missed it all because she was on a work trip. Daddy didn't realize he was suppose to keep it a secret that I did it while she was gone! I also started practicing sitting up, but need a lot of help with this.
August 2009 (2 months old). I'm starting to get a personality now, I even smile at my mama sometimes. I have figured out that when I do this, she will do just about anything for me! The highlight of this month was when mom and dad took me to the lake for the week to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa Owens. I loved the lake! When I went to the doctor for my checkup, my 2 month stats were:
Height-23.5 inches (75%)
Weight-11 lbs, 8 oz (50%)
Head: 16 inches (75%)
I'm still a big boy!
July 2009 (1 month old)- I am still trying to figure out the world. I've been a very good baby so far, though. I even sleep 4 whole hours in a row so mommy and daddy can get some rest.
