Day 272- 1 year!

Happy 1 year, Caleb!
Caleb,
You have grown SO much in the past year. You are really getting to be a "big" boy these days. You walk pretty well and prefer it compared with crawling. You eat mostly table food with only Stage 3 baby food or oatmeal to supplement when you don't like what mama makes for dinner. You love goldfish, oranges, black beans, pasta, salmon, sweet potato, yogurt, cheese, and applesauce. You wear size 3 or 4 diapers and size 12-18 month clothes. You weigh 21 lbs, 13 oz (35%) and are 30.5" tall (75%). Your favorite toys are books, balls, your new car track, blocks, and shapes puzzle. You aren't saying any words yet (that we can tell), but you understand a ton. You can point to your head, ears and feet (and someone else's mouth or nose). You follow some simple commands like, "get a book" or "bring that paper to mommy." You sleep through the night from 8:00pm to around 7:30am most days, but have an episode every once in a while if you get hungry or too cold. You also take 1 nap from around 12:30-3:30. You are a total joy! We have been going to the park a lot and taking walks to enjoy the beautiful weather. I'm excited to see all the new things you learn and do in the next year!
Love,Mama
