One Year Old

I can't believe it. You turned one year old last Sunday! Kelton, you never cease to amaze me everyday. I look at you and wonder how did I get so lucky to have such a great kid. You generally are in a good mood. You are still fast to give a smile and lately you have been soo loving. You give hugs and kisses at your own free will. You walk some now. You can take up to about 10 steps without falling. It is soo exciting to see you do it because you know you are doing something great and you will smile and clap. Mama and Dada are your only clear words still but sometimes you will say Ball or Bye and MeMe has been in there a few times. You still have your same old night time routine. I feed you a bottle and rock you asleep. You take showers with Daddy now and you love it. The only thing is that you do not like to sit still anymore so Daddy has to only bathe you while you are in there. Last night you kept putting your head farther back when Daddy was rinsing your hair and you kept getting mad but it was your own fault. Another thing you do now is that you have to see Eeyore in the morning and give him kisses. You squint went you smile now, it is too cute. You have 6 teeth and sometimes you grind them together. You still have to have the paci but I try to keep it away from you as much as possible. You drink great out of a straw and you eat some solid foods. You love drinking tea from Papa Mike's glass.

We went to the Dr. on Monday and you were 20lbs. 3ozs. and 31 inches long. She said that you looked great and are growing just fine. We talked about you switching to whole milk and eating more table food. You had to have 5 shots. 2 in 1 leg, 1 in the other leg and one in each arm. You did good, you only cried for a few minutes. Though you were cranky for the rest of the day and did not sleep hardly at all Monday night. You have a cold right now but you are doing okay. You are still sleeping which is a blessing.
