As you saw in the last post, Deacon had his first birthday.
He's a growing boy and slowly but surely becoming a toddler. Here are his latest stats:
Birth: 7lbs 9oz, 20.5 inches
2 weeks: 8lbs 9oz (49%), 20.25 inches (32%)1 month: 10lbs 8oz (66%), 21 inches (31%)
2 months: 13lbs 1.6oz (70%), 23 inches (47%)
4 months: 15lbs 13oz (61%), 25 inches (46%)
6 months: 18 lbs 9oz (71%), 27 inches (68%)
9 months: 21 lbs 15oz (85%), 28.5 inches (57%)
12 months: 23lbs 1oz (76%), 29.75 inches (43%)
While I know he's getting older, he's still a bit behind on some milestones, so he seems like a baby in many ways, which I don't mind because it means more baby snuggles and smiles and less toddler tantrums and mood swings. Deacon still isn't crawling, pulling up, or even close to walking. He's in weekly physical therapy for "low tone," to help with all this, and I suspect in the new week or two, we'll have a crawler on our hands.He works so hard in PT, and you can tell he really wants to be mobile. He does roll and army crawl, and can make it across the room in two seconds flat.
While Deacon may not be on the move, he is starting to do better with eating finger foods. As of yesterday, he's officially off formula (except his bedtime bottle) and onto whole milk and finger foods. We'll see how it goes, since he really LOVE his bottle and formula.
Speaking of things Deacon loves, he loves to "talk. He will banter back and forth with us and babble all day long. Eric and I also hear him "sing" to music, and we swear he is singing "Let it Go" every so often. I really need to record that and let all of you decide if that's what he is singing or not.
Overall, Deacon is still our MVB and just the best baby ever. So sweet, so snuggly, so cute. I can't wait to see what the next year brings.
