A Little Bit Big

_MG_7633

When Roo went for his one year check up (at 13 months), he weighed just over 20 pounds which put him in the 8th percentile for weight. He is a tiny little thing, and it is such a site to see him toddle all over the house like he's big stuff.

He started walking just before he turned a year old. These days, it's a full-on run. He's got a great sense of balance and dexterity. More than it seems a (nearly) 14 month old should have.

He picks up on so much from Alex. He knows how to play with so many toys that I've never showed him how to play – putting balls into the ball-popper, pushing cars on the ground, sliding toy coins into the treasure chest slots, stacking bowls, drinking from the pretend orange juice bottle at our pretend picnic. He is quick to figure things out. In days that seem filled with busyness, I find myself trying to slow down long enough to enjoy the amazement of his development. Won't be long before "little bit big" becomes "a whole lot big."

I've been loving all your posts recently. Short and sweet! :)

Looks like you are keeping busy this summer. And that little Andrew, what a tiny little thing. All 3 of mine have been nothing smaller than 50th percentile. Mostly 75th+. Thick, solid and full of rolls. Come to think of it, they're still that way! LOL! I can only imagine how little he must look walking around. Sweet boy!

I hope you guys are enjoying your summer days and are staying cool. It's HOT here. 108 yesterday! :-/
Miss you guys!!
