12 months!!!

Happy Birthday Tank!!! One year has just flown by with many happy days and wonderful memories!!

We continue to be in awe of all his adventurous moves! He is on the go non-stop: climbing up the stairs and now down just as fast, he signs more, all-done, and eat/drink. He understand the signs sit and dirty. We are still working on please and thank you. He cracks us up of climbing in Alvin's bed, crate, and even the rabbit cage! LOL I placed the rabbit in there with him and neither seemed to mind.

We enjoy our trips to the park and taking walks in the early mornings. Its so hot by lunch time its been hard to enjoy the month of July. Since his birthday we have set up the backyard with a swimming pool, garden cottage, lawn furniture he and get up and down now on his own, his push car, etc. He likes to cool off and run around and get dirty these hot afternoons.

The 12.5 month well check up went great!! Tank is 21 lbs and 30 inches tall. He continues to have a head size in the 91 st percent!! Otherwise he is measuring tall and skinny!! He has experienced many spills lately, which has been hard on mommy. He seems to bounce back and recover just fine. He continues to be very vocal on what he wants and when he wants it. We are working on using the signs more in that frustrating time for him. He likes pulling out the applesauce and other yummy treats from the fridge. Cracks me up! He just started clapping his hands and dancing to music (July 31st)!!!

I am feeling good being 12 weeks pregnant with a 12 month old!! He keeps me on my toes and I enjoy every minute of the day!

Tank's first waterpark experience (8/5). He loved the lazy river and his first waterslide! He was amazed in the tall buckets that dumped water. This was Chip's first time with Tank in the water. One woman complimented Tank in how well he gets around, plays, and has fun in the water at his age. After two hours we were pooped and hungry. Grand time had by all!
