Peter 13 Months

IMG_2129

  • Weighing 24.5 lbs
  • Length 31.5″
  • Has 6 teeth
  • Can get on the couch by himself, sometimes
  • More and more vocal
  • He is not only walking, he is now running…which is so funny to watch (he usually runs while holding a pillow in front of him)
  • Got his second big boy haircut
  • Still taking two naps (he gets woken up from them every day for swimming lessons, or pool time, or whatever else is going on, but he’s still a smiley champ about it)
  • He loves being in the pool….and I have loved my BeachFront Baby Wrap.
  • We officially moved him into his convertible car seat, but we’re using the infant as backup for pool and VBS transport. He still fits in it, fortunately, all of his length is in his legs.
  • Fully transitioned to cows milk, and we’re getting toward the end of fortifying it. He’s still getting 3 bottles a day (before naps and at bed time).

I just love this little boy…he’s so squishy and tolerant of all my squeezes. He loves being loved on by everyone. One of the things I’ve loved about having another little one is getting to see the interactions between the older ones and him. I love watching them talk and play with him. Avie wasn’t old enough for that when the triplets were born, so it was something we missed out on. Henry especially loves Peter, always telling me he’s a cute baby and asking if we can keep him.

Peter – One Year Old

Peter is ONE! It’s been 366 days (there was a leap year) since the sweetness that is Sweet Pickle Peter burst into our family!

I still refuse to accept it. I don’t know how it could already have been a year since he was born. The kids were all kind of weepy at the thought that he’s not a baby anymore, especially Avie. She was lamenting much of yesterday about missing the baby Peter.

Peter – One Year Old

  • Weighs 24lbs 4 ounces
  • Length 31″ long
  • Got his first real, little boy haircut (we clipped off about 5″, which means he probably grew around 12″ of hair this year, since we had trimmed 4″ off in February).
  • Has two more teeth poking through, for a grand total of 6
  • Has taken up to two steps at a time, before sitting himself back down
  • He’s getting much more vocal when it comes to words and sounds and being silly
  • Still two naps a day and sleeping through the night
  • Officially transitioned from goats milk to cows milk
  • Wearing 18/24 months, depending on the brand and style
  • He loves playing ball with his brothers and sisters
  • Loves playing with cars and making them zoom about (I don’t remember any of the other kids doing this)
  • Infectious smile and laughter
  • Doing a great job of feeding himself…LOVES eating and not much gets on the floor
  • He’s becoming less and less cuddly…which mommy and daddy HATE
