1 year old

Carter turned 1 year old on February 12th. Our baby isn't a baby anymore!! He is walking all over the place. He is working on trying to say more words and babbles non stop. He wears 18-24 month clothes, size 6 shoes and is in size 5 diapers. Carter has done wonderful with the transition from bottle to sippy cups along with formula to whole milk. He is a very observant little man and mimics us all the time and anything we do not want him to touch or play with, he does! He has a very short temper and screams when he doesn't get his way but on the plus is a cuddlier and will give "kisses" and hugs all the time. He adores his brother and just wants to be around him and play with him. He's is not the best sleeper at nights and will often wake up but can normally go back to sleep on his own.

At his doctor's visit he did very good and she said he's right on track for development. Here are his stats:

Height: 32 1/2 inches 97th percentile
Weight: 27lbs 2 oz 93rd percentile
Head: 18 3/4 inches 93rd percentile

I asked the nurse Trent's and they were only off by very little!!
For Carter's actual birthday I took the day off to hang out with my boys. It snowed 12 inches that day and we went to play in the snow that morning. Carter was very unsure but Trent had a blast running around, making snow angels and throwing snow balls at me. We couldn't stay out too long since Carter was having trouble standing in snow. After lunch and naps we headed to the doctor for Carter's check up. Afterwards I took them to the mall to play in the kids play area. Then we headed home for dinner, a movie and cake. Trent told me Carter had the best birthday party ever!! I told him to wait until the actual party where there would be more people than just us :-)
