My baby is ONE! How crazy is that?!?!!?Here’s his stats as I remember them:
- 33 inches = off the charts!
- Weight: 23.3 lbs -- 75%;
He’s the long lean little brother machine! He took his shots much better than big brother, but I think it helps that mommy is more of a pro these days… plus prepared with candy.
Ethan charmed all the ladies in the doctor office, while the doctor was a little bit behind; we wandered the hallways and smiled and waved at everyone. Charmer!
Ethan is totally loving the communication phase! He currently signs for help (or throws a tantrum); and has a general sign that when paired with a grunt differentiates
his different needs. He raises his arm and does a little open/close the fingers backwards wave. When he adds the point at the sippie and an extra long grunt, it means he wants the sippie. When he points at a food choice.. that’s what he wants! Of course, anytime he sends his plate/spoon/food down to the floor, it means he doesn’t want it. He’s long since mastered the headshake no and for emphasis will totally look away from a proffered item. It’s really cute. He’s also very into words -- Ah Duh (all done) Yayayayayaay (Oliver); MAMAMAMA (mama); Of course, there’s more, but I’ll have to add them later!
He’s a great little guy with a big smile that lights up our lives!
PS: Almost sleeping through the night… I’m thinking he’s on a growth spurt and has had a bit of a night waking issue. He’s no fun to be up with (I think it makes him mad to wake up at night, but the little man doesn’t soothe himself back to sleep that well).
