We have reached that One Year Milestone with our dear boy Jaden! Boy has this last year flown by and we watched him grow up from a content and laid back newborn to a happy, smiley energizer bunny of a toddler! I thought I would share a few "stats" about Jaden as of now~
*weighs in at 23 pounds & 10 ounces (50-75% on the growth chart)
*31.5 inches tall (greater than the 95%)
*head measures in at 18.25 inches (50%)
*eats all table food and when I say all, I mean ALL! Jaden is an exceptional eater! He will pretty much eat anything I put down in front of him at mealtime. He does, however, have some favorites: pancakes, blueberries, strawberries, grapes, crackers, cheese, yogurt, peas/carrots -- just to name a few!
*is walking, running and climbing on everything! Jaden has a very hard time sitting down and playing with toys. He is very busy all the time and just prefers to pick up various toys and walk around with them.
*one of his favorite things to do is to pick up things and hide them inside of other things. For example, we watched him pick up toys and throw them away in the garbage can. We're not sure how long he has been doing this before we actually saw him, so some of the toys that we think are else where in the house, just might be at the local garbage dump by now! :) He also likes to hide things in drawers, bins.
*he is absolutely by far and outside boy. He jumps at the chance, which is very frequent, to be outside. He loves playing in the backyard, throwing rocks and going to the park.
*he has great pincher grasp reflexes and tremendous hand eye coordination. He can throw a ball overhead as is he's been playing baseball for years!
*I think because he is so physically active, he has lacked the vocabulary that Alyssa had by now. He can say "mama," "more," "uh-oh," and a slew of babble
Keep up the good work Jaden! We love you so much and are so blessed to have you in our lives!
