Tristan is One!!
Can you believe it?! How did this past year fly by so fast?! How can I really have a one year old already?! It's been a fast, yet fun/crazy/tiring/exciting/stressful/wonderful year! I never knew the learning curve could be SO steep!
He went to his one-year appointment last week, and he is 30 1/2 inches long (75%) and 21 pounds (23%) -- as always, long and lean. Doctor says he looks healthy! He HATED laying still for the doctor and, of course, the shots, but he recovered quickly.
Tristan is walking (almost) like a pro now. He still falls a lot, especially when he is walking outside, but he is definitely a "walker" now. It's so funny how he'll walk around, waving his arms (like he's talking with his hands)and talking to himself.
He is starting to say a few words. Several things are "ba" -- bath, banana, ball. He still doesn't say mama and dada much unless he is in distress. But his receptive language is really improving. I told him tonight it was time for a bath, so he walked right to the bathroom (I was putting up his toys) and waited for me, standing right next to the tub. Cute, huh? He loves his baths.
Anyways, here are some pictures of his birthday:
12 month picture -- he didn't want to just sit there...surprise, surprise...
The rocking chair he got from his Mimi and Buddy -- he loved it!
Isn't he just cute sitting in his chair, reading his book?!
Nathan holding Tristan while everyone singing "Happy Birthday"
Tristan was really unsure about the cupcake -- he kept trying to feed it to Nathan!
Once he tried it though, he loved it!
A piano that his friend (and her mommy -- one of my best friends) gave him for his birthday. I'll find him sitting on his knees on the bench, hitting the keys -- he may be a pianist someday! (the white spots is just packaging from the box)
He also got lots of other things (I just don't have pictures of everything) -- he was only a LITTLE spoiled :) I think he had a great first birthday!
