"Growing like a weed"
We had a great weekend with family and friends celebrating Caleb's birthday (check out Bob's blog for lots of fun pictures). Wow, my little boy is a year old already! Time has really gone by quickly.
We went to the doctor this morning and he weighs 23 pounds 4.5 ounces (50-75%) and is 33 inches tall (over 100%)! He's literally way off of the charts on height. The nurse measured him twice because he grew 3.25 inches in 3 months. I knew he was tall, but man that's a lot of growing going on. His doctor is great and had all kinds of good advice for switching him to milk and exclaimed "my he's growing like a weed". Gotta love it.
He did alright with his shots, well he screamed, but that's to be expected. They want him back in 3 months and it hit me, wow I could be coming back with 2 kids instead of just one! I'm a little more than 3 months from my due date. So either I'll be enormous when I take him for his 15 month check-up or I'll have my little girl with me.
Here's a picture of Caleb enjoying his birthday present from us. Some parents want to keep their kids from walking as along as possible, but not us. I want him to be walking really well by the time this little girl comes! He better not take after me, as I didn't walk till I was 20 months. So hopefully this walker will help him on his way. He already does really well with it.

Wow, you sure do have a big boy on your hands! He's the same weight/height as Zoe and she just turned 2. He looks like he's got the hang of the walking/pushing thing. Zoe got the same thing for her first birthday and it wasn't any time before she started walking on her own and we got to turn the thing into a "bike."
