1 year stats

We had Gavin's well visit this week and here are his 1 year stats:

1. He weighs 21 lbs 7 oz (50th percentile) and is 30 1/2 inches long (75th percentile).

2. He walks like crazy and loves it. I keep comparing him to those men at sporting events who turn around with their heads on the bat and then have to try to walk afterwards...sometimes no matter where you want your feet to take you, they just don't listen. Overall though, he's so great and just loves walking everywhere!

3. He JUST mastered waving (as previously mentioned) which is huge for us...he has clapped I think like 3 times EVER..He can do "SO BIG" and often times can point to where his belly button is and where someone else's nose is.

4. He loves to wrestle. He is hysterical. He loves to dive into pillows and when on the bed/couch will just stand up and topple over and laugh. He is bound to injure himself and has already injured his Mom and Dad playing this game. But he just keeps at it.

5. Will not give kisses...when you try he either pushes your face away or possibly gives you a headbutt.

6. He is very verbal but has yet to say a word. He is so vocal and constantly is making himself heard but no words.

7. He loves to dance--dance, dance, dance. Any time he hears music he starts moving. It started with some arm movement, added a head bop and now moves his hips. It is so cute that I often blare the ITunes in the house and dance around with him just to see him get into it.

8. He is a pretty good sleeper. He takes two naps usually averaging out to about 3 hours and he sleeps from 8 pm to 7 am.

9. He loves his Daddy--when he hears the back door open he hurriedly goes to see who has come in and is all smiles (and waves now) when he sees who it is. He likes wrestling with Mommy but he LOVES wrestling with Daddy.

10. He is an eating machine. He has started on the sippy cup and takes it pretty well so far. He loves to eat--everything. So far he will eat every type of meat, potato, veggie and fruit but he is a true Harris and by far, his fav thing to eat is CHEESE!

So...that is about where he is at right now. He is generally a happy boy and an absolute joy to spend my days with. We have lots of fun together each day and I am so glad I get to hang out with this guy b/c he fills my heart with love and laughter.
