One Year Old Stats

This little one-year old is getting big. You wouldn't believe the lightning speed he can crawl at and he's sooo close to walking. He took his first step a few days ago with both of us watching. He can stand fine on his own and for a long time, but then he squats down and crawls. Why walk when you can crawl even faster?

Desmond loves getting into everything! I leave one cupboard accessible and stock it with tupperware and safe kitchen toys. He loves taking everything out of the cupboard and leaving it there. He likes turning tupperware upside-down and using as tools to put his hands on top of to crawl faster. He's a smart kid. We've been teaching him to crawl upstairs and down. He has no fear so he likes to tumble downstairs head-first. He needs to learn we won't always be there to catch him.

His doctor gave him an OK to eat anything. He's off formula and loves his whole milk. It must be warm though. He will try eating anything at least twice, but he will spit it out if it's not to his liking. He doesn't like eggs or rice still. I was surprised that he liked our pork tenderloin crock pot dinner, as it's the first meat he's taken an interest in. It's so nice that he can eat whatever I'm making for dinner now. BUT that means we need to eat healthier. He's also learned how to throw his food off his high chair and feed to Pumpkin. Oh boy! He also likes rubbing his food in his hair.

He got a new car seat which faces forward. He loves being able to see outside instead of a seat. He still likes being taken for walks and runs in his stroller. He doesn't fall asleep anymore though. Desmond is starting to mimic sounds and words. He can say, "Hi Dad" on command. We are still working on "Hi Mom." He can also wave and give high fives. He loves copying Skyler when he clears his throat and also motor boat sounds. He still tried to eat everything he comes in contact with.

Desmond has always been a great sleeper and he continues to be that way. He usually goes to bed around 8:30-9:00pm and wakes up between 6:30-7:00am. He still takes two naps a day. I love this guy and can't wait for every day that we get to spend together.

Height: 83% (31")

Still smart, tall, and skinny.
