The Stats Are In

Today was Elton's one-year check up and immunizations. He 21lbs 2oz and 30 inches long. He got 5 shots! He was not happy about this. At least they had 2 nurses come in and tag team him. He definitely earned the McDonald cookies Dr. Trotter gave him. Elton is walking around holding onto things, but hasn't quite mustered up the courage to go solo yet. He crawls really fast and I think at this point it just seems easier to him. He is taking whole milk really well. We started working on getting rid of the bottles yesterday. I just keep offering him milk out of his sippy cup throughout the day. He is still getting used to drinking something of a colder temperature. No bottles at all today, but I am thinking we will still do one before bed tonight. He is also pretty much just table food now. He is clapping his hands and is just so darn cute!

Caleb was excited to share with Dr. Trotter that he was wearing underwear. Dr. Trotter told him he was very proud and he also got a package of cookies.

After naps this afternoon, we made our first trip of the year to the park. It was 51 degrees out when we left the house. Caleb, as you can see from the picture, is a good climber. I can definitely see a difference from our last visit in the fall. Elton had a blast just crawling around all over through the wood chips. Of course some went into his mouth and he thought it was rather funny when I would tell him "bakki!" (a dutch term that I'm not sure if I spelled right). I think I was able to get all out of his mouth in time.
