A few things about Ryan at 1 year old:
Not yet walking, but stands on his own and crawls everywhere!
Loves playing in the kitchen cabinets
Can wave hello and bye-bye
Says "mama", "dada", "oh", "nana" and babbles all the time. I'm sure he is trying to say alot more, we just can't make out the words yet!
Is getting all 4 top teeth at the same time - ouch!
Loves to point at things with his index finger
Likes animals especially dogs and cats
Adores his big brother. Sean is the only one who can truly make Ryan belly laugh out loud
Smiles most of the time - people call him "smiley"
Enjoys playing with his toys (and Sean's too)
Thinks it's fun to climb the stairs and have someone chase him
Likes to play with the toilet - eww!
Only likes to eat apples whole (not in slices! - I think this is because he sees big brother eating that way)
Likes to dance
Still has trouble sleeping through the night
Never would take a bottle
Favorite book - "There's a Cat in God's Tree"
Loves water - enjoys taking a bath and playing with the water table. We recently learned he also likes to play in the sprinkler
Is getting better about separation from mommy
Favorite foods - bananas, french fries, baked beans, Nilla wafer cookies, apples, chicken
These are just a few things about Ryan - there are too many to list! :-)
Today, I took Ryan to the doctor for his 1 year check-up appointment. Overall, the doctor said he is in great health. He's on the small side as far as weight goes so we need to work on putting some weight on him! He's had 2 sicknesses in the past few months where he lost weight and I think that has contributed to his low weight. Here are his stats:
18 pounds (2nd percentile)
29 inches (45th percentile)
I checked back in Sean's baby book and at 1 year old he was 20.4 pounds and 29.5 inches. The doctor said Ryan is more lean and long!
We look forward to the upcoming year with Ryan as he begins to walk, talk more, and just be a blessing to our family.
