Happy One Year!

One year down and so much has changed. He has put on 11 pounds 10 ounces and gained 10.5 inches. He is now 20 pounds 4 ounces and 31 inches long, putting him in the 25th and 90th percentiles. He is walking like crazy and climbing on everything. He has figured out how to move furniture (like the little table) so that he can climb higher. He loves to eat, and is a big fan of feeding himself. While he doesn't have a lot of words, he is very vocal. Sleep, while still not great, has vastly improved and I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. He also loves his big brother so much, but can definitely hold his own when Peter tries to take advantage of his age and size.

And since this post is already so late, from BabyCenter.com:

At one year, most children can
Imitate others’ activities – Yes, especially when you play with him
Indicate wants with gestures – He points and reaches for things, no other real gestures.

At one year about half the children can
Take a few steps – He is full on walking.
Say one word besides “mama” or “dada” - Not really, it is still pretty much all babble right now.

At one year, a few children can
Walk alone – Oh yes, all the time.
Scribbles with a crayon – Since he tried to eat EVERYTHING, I haven't given him crayons yet.
Say two words besides “mama” or “dada” – Just like above, it's all pretty much babble.
