Okay, enough of my singing. We've had a lot going on at the Haylett household over the past few months and blogging just really wasn't at the top of the list. What, with chasing around a one year old and all. One!? One year old. Yup! Aaron has turned 1 and is quickly moving into 13 months old! He's walking as he feels so inclined, so nothing consistent. Why walk when crawling gets you there SOOO much faster?
A is a big boy. Not "BIG" but tall with a big head. He's 31 1/2 inches tall (90%), 23 1/2 pounds (50%), and a BIG head. I don't remember the measurement specifically but I remember it being in the 95th percentile. Whew! Glad that wasn't the case at birth! (sorry for that)
Here's some fun Aaron facts:
-loves buttons, particularly pushing them (both literally and figuratively)
-points at everything, all day, wanting us to name them
-said 'kee' for tree over the holiday
-points at different pictures in books and makes noise 'guh'
-loves books, especially touch/feel books - He picked one up and brought it to me the other day and we read for 10 minutes. This is amazing because he DOES NOT SIT DOWN! :) So cute!
-loves stuffed animals, particularly his puppy (we so need to find a replacement as I fear puppy will need a washing some day in the near future)
-when he likes something, will say 'ooooh' and/or jabber at it (such as holiday lights or something shiny)
-sleeps like a champ (hope I didn't jinx us), he's been going to be around 7:30 and we wake him up at 6:30 to get ready for daycare (sorry to my friends suffering from sleepless nights)
-loves people watching
-does not like jack-in-the-box or getting scared
-eats like a teenager
-loves fruit (especially pears)
-loves loves loves anything bread related (toast, sandwiches, pancakes, cornbread, waffles, you name it, he will eat bread)
-walks, when he wants to, where he wants to, and no, there is nothing we can do about it.
-wobbles as he walks-A's balance isn't the greatest, which is likely a developmental thing, but may be related to fluid behind his ears. We're keeping an eye on it...
Here I will leave you with a little photo of my bitty gnome. Hat is handmade by me, coat a gift from Aunt Jacque, location Botanical Center in Des Moines. Photo taken by Stephanie Doll.
