Colton had his 1 year check up yesterday and he was a big healthy boy! He was 23lbs 8oz and 31 inches. Translates to 85th percentile for height and 75th percentile for weight. He is slimming down a little bit...heehee! I had to fill out a form on motor skills when I got there, while doing this I found myself thinking what if he can't do any of this...what happens then? and getting worried. I don't know why I was thinking any of that because the only thing that my genius can't do is....hold his foot up for me to put a sock or shoe on it...and he probably can't do this because the child hasn't worn socks or shoes EVER!. I thought it was funny! He could do everything else on the paper. Another thing that was on there was a question like "can the child place two objects in a container one at a time and then take them back out?' and to answer the question was "yes" because he jerks Mimi's earrings out every chance he gets and then puts them one by one into anything he can find and then gets them back out! I thought it was interesting because I watched him do this about 100 times in Mimi's office Tuesday! He is so very smart! Dr. Beeber was very impressed with all of his accomplishments and said that he is a very healthy little boy. He had to have two shots, which he was a big boy but I think it was because he had the hots for the new younger nurse...heehee! He really liked her, he wanted her to hold him every time she was in the room. Mark's comment was "that a boy". Unfortunately after she hurt him with the shots, he was done with her and wanted Mommy.
He is walking a lot now, still not all the time, but it won't be long at all. It is so funny when he stands up in the middle of the floor, looks around and then just starts walking to what or who he wants. Sometimes he takes 20 steps and sometimes it is only 4.
He is my Little Wild Man! He climbs on anything and everything, you can't take your eyes off of him for a second. He loves to climb in any rocking chair and then not only does he rock but he tries to stand up and pretty much jump out! Wow...really...already! He can get on all of his riding toys by himself and even move them forward(yay) and stand up on them(once again making Mommy nervous) and then he gets off and starts all over again. He makes me tired just watching him. He loves all of his tractors and he still loves his race car stuff too. He really likes his couch that we got him for his birthday, it is a tradition...the girls both got one for their first birthday so he had to also. He sits on it, rolls on it and of course CLIMBS on it!. He uses it to climb onto other things...he is always thinking! He loves to make all the silly noises with his mouth, especially the ones that means he gets to spit on his sisters. He really loves it when Hayden chases him, his little laugh is music to my ears. I sure do love you little man.
Our little man is really growing up too fast. It's wierd that I feel like he and Hayden are growing up too fast and that Gracie is a little love bug who bounces back and forth between the two. She has the advantage of acting older than she is and then she can turn around and be younger and so timid the next. Little Man is going to give them a run for their money. These three make my world go round and round.
