Catching Up With the Birthday Boy
We took the Boppy photos and video but, clearly, I'm a bit behind in posting because of all the festivities...
Thursday morning Adlai woke up as a one-year-old and we took him out to a pancake house to celebrate - still managing to get home, pack Simon's lunch and drop him off at school by 8:30 am. I stayed home and we played and Matthew and I took turns running errands.
Friday we went to Adlai's 12-month check-up. Here are his stats:
Weight: 19 lbs. 14 oz. (11th percentile)
Head Circ: 17.76 inches (16th percentile)
Height: 30 inches (59th percentile)
He is a healthy thin baby and Dr. K has no concerns about his development.
He was SO CLOSE to 20 pounds that, on Saturday we switched his car seat to forward facing. The boys sat next to each other, facing the same direction, and they actually held hands as we drove over to celebrate Ben's first birthday. Adlai crawled over and attempted to hug every baby in the place (Ben is especially huggable). He also built his first block tower and impressed the adults by speaking English that they understood.
Sunday both the Rubensons and the Kagles came over for tacos and cake to celebrate the new one-year-old. Adlai was a bit crankier than usual due to the lack of nap and slew of teeth poking through, but he enjoyed the new toys and Simon loved having so much of his family all in one place. After the Rubenson side of the family took off in the rain for home, the Kagles stayed to celebrate a first night of Hanukkah complete with more gifts, latkes, and music.
And here is the part where we pass out from exhaustion. Boppy collection coming soon. Music video likely to appear in the new year (since the power supply to the lap top with some videos was tossed after creating large sparks). More Hanukkah photos and Christmas! Holy cow. Don't forget to check Flickr for the most recent photos!
Happy Holidays!
