Pear Stats & Kid Pics

I forgot to give the Pear's one-year stats in my last post. Here goes:

Height: 32" (95th percentile)
Weight: 23 lbs. 12 oz. (50th-60th percentile)
Head: Big
Teeth: 7
Diaper Size: 4
Clothing Size: 18 months
Shoe Size: 5 or 5 wide
Recent Milestones: Cruising, speed crawling, climbing and standing without holding on
Favorite Toys: Basketball hoop set, Little People Farm, ball tree, balls, the babies from Taylor's dollhouse, new teddy bear
Favorite Foods: Barley cereal, peas, pears (how fitting), Dora soup, mashed potatoes - he doesn't seem too picky so far. He's not much into table foods just yet, but will eat Stage 3 foods fine.
Favorite Drinks: Still on soy formula for awhile and water. He doesn't like juice and is pretty good about drinking water.
Other Favorites: Mom and Dad, playing in the floor with Taylor, Champy, giving high-fives, pointing to and touching the animals on his wall, peek-a-boo
Dislikes: Baths (he's okay once he's been in for awhile, but he HATES to be washed), diaper changes, the vacuum, the carseat/poofy winter coat combo (he hates it almost as much as me), not getting his way
My Favorite Things: His hugs (he's become quite the hugger and will ambush you by crawling over quickly and planting his head on you), his big, open-mouth laugh, his gorilla walk (got to catch this on camera)


So that's the Pear in a nutshell. He's a pretty special little dude.


Here are a few pictures from the last couple days.

Taylor making wrapping paper at her PreK Christmas party.

Cheeser. Don't you love the sweater? She had on a matching zebra-print skirt. Made me think of Lauri.

Mike educating the kids on playing Madden. Yes, they are all in their Steelers gear.

Until next time,
