One Year Recap

Xavier's one year check up was last week.  If I remember the doctor's words correctly, it was something like, "Dang, baby got back."

Xavier is 31 inches for height (84th percentile) and 26 lb pounds for weight (86th percentile).

I see this pic hanging from the ceiling at daycare every time I walk in the building.  It cracks me up and it describes his personality to a T, fun-loving, go with the flow, making people laugh.

I wasn't sure if I was going to do one of those "one year stats" posts, but I decided I have to because I think it would be fun to look back on with Xavier.  So here we go:

Age: 1
Stats:  26 pounds, 31 inches, 18.5 inch head circumference
Favorite Foods:  Grilled cheese, plantains, edamame, lima beans, sweet potatoes (omg obsessed), grapes, carbs, meat
Favorite Toy:  The LeapFrog Learn & Groove Play Table and Fisher-Price Musical Pop Dino (crazy because he's had both of these toys for months and they are easily still his favorites)
Favorite Activities:  Clicking his tongue, high fives, chasing puppies around the house
Least Favorite Activities:  Diaper changes, getting hair brushed and dried


Signature Moves:  When we tell him "No", he stops what he's doing, looks at us with a big smile, and shakes his head while laughing.
Some other recent one-year shenanigans:
He has a thing for opening and closing doors.  The other day, I was in my walk-in closet and Xavier closed the door with me in it.  I nudged the door open slightly to ask if I could come out, but he quickly shut it again and plopped all 26 pounds of his weight in front of the door.  I could not get out.

At day care, he gets uber excited at meal time.  When he hears the squeaky lid lift on the high chairs he stops playing to look at it.  He crawls up to the gate (even if it's not his turn), and bangs on it until he gets some!


This face?  My heart.

Well, that and the other Monthly Posts and Daily Routines sums up the first whole year.  We love our little guy so much and every day gets exponentially better than the last.  It's going to be weird to respond to people that he's a year old, instead of however-many-months-old.  We are so excited to watch him grow and can't wait to see what the next year brings (though it doesn't have to go so fast, does it?!).  Walking, talking, messing up his words, haha - it's going to be fun!
