13 months!

I know, I know, I am a really bad blogger! But this post is pic HEAVY! I will try to do better!
Christopher is 13 months old! He is doing great! At the last well child visit,

*He weighed 19.5 lbs
*He was 29 3/4 inches long. I think that he has grown a good bit since that visit especially in height.
*His hair has taken off. It is now laying down on his head instead of sticking straight up. I kinda miss it sticking up :(
*He is cruising around the coffee table often.
*He says Mama, Dada, and tonight said, night night.
*Loves music
*Cries when he hears another baby crying.
* Is very, very ticklish.
*Hates anything sweet but can eat his weight in veggies.
*Will NOT take a sippy cup.







Christopher had a Cookie Monster themed birthday party. We decided to give the sesame street underdog a chance and choose Cookie instead of Elmo. He had a great birthday! It is hard to believe that he turned 1. He has changed sooo much since he came home.



We tried to get him to eat some of his cake but all he wanted to do was squish it between his fingers. He is not a sweet eater, which is good for my waist line.




Already sooo tired from all the attention of his birthday!

This baby is very lazy when it comes to holding his bottle. He perfers you do it for him and will take maybe 2 sips out of a sippy cup. These pics were taken after we both got up from a nap. I had to get ready for work and he was still super tired and just a little bit whiney. He would not hold his bottle so I got creative with 1 of his birthday gifts. Thanks Spidey! He stayed like this for at least 2 minutes, NO JOKE!


Christopher has some serious teeth! I remember the last pics that we got of him before we left for Vietnam. I could make out at least 2 teeth in the pictures. I was so sad that I missed his first teeth. We were very surprised to discover that he had 5 teeth when we got him back to the hotel. That was 5 teeth at 5 months! Last month, we had 1 really bad week with sleep. Once again, it was those darn teeth. 4 of them coming in at once. His upper eye teeth are coming in and to our surprise his upper molars are coming in too. This week, I was looking in the his mouth and teeth #13 & 14 (molars) are soon to make their appearance on the bottom. He hates to have you brush his teeth and he will clamp down very quickly if a finger is anywhere near his mouth.



Love my daddy!

Hey Karen, we had a Cookie Monster 1st Birthday cake here too and Jammer wasn't interested in eating it either. Your smoosh pictures look a lot like our do.

For cups, try the Grip and Sip. It has a straw and it doesn't tilt up to drink. Jammer did a lot better with this one rather than a regular sippy cup when we made the switch. Now he can drink from both but he prefers the one with the straw.

What a fun 1st birthday! The cookie monster cake is too cute. I am so happy he is feeling better and everyone is doing well.

Happy birthday Christopher, he is one handsome little man. Dylan hates the sippy cup, the only thing he does is take a sip, spit it out, and then he hurls the cup across the room, "Bottle Please".
I was happy to see your post, kids are busy. I know, how hard it is to just get ready for work, let alone post pictures.
take care,
Charisa

Hi Karen,

Owen hates sippy cups and bottles, but will drink out of the "juice box" made by Rubbermaid. It's basically a sippy cup with a straw. If he gets lazy sucking the straw, we squeeze the bottle and he gets a mouthful of milk. It might work for Christopher.

Great pictures, by the way!
