12 month doctor's appointment

charlie did great at his doctor's appointment this morning. his doctor was in love with his cheeks and couldn't stop saying how cute he is :) 

he weighs 21 pounds 15 ounces (25%)
he is 30 3/4 inches long (90%)

i asked about his weight and he said that he is perfectly healthy and he is just a lower percentile because he is moving around a lot more now. he said that there are a lot of obese kids in america and that thin is better than obese. i guess he is right. 

he got 2 shots and didn't even cry with the first one. it was the second one that got him, but he only cried a little bit and stopped as soon as held him.

i am starting the weaning process with charlie too. this is day 2 of skipping his mid morning feeding. now that he is drinking milk i give him his snack and milk and he seems happy :)

monthly pictures

 my tiny baby grew so much in one year!
watch him grow...













charlie's birthday party

 on charlie's birthday we went swimming at my parent's hotel

 he tried milk for the first time...and liked it!! for those of you who know how i have struggled with charlie drinking out of a sippy cup and the fear that i had of him never being able to wean because he can't drink out of any bottle/cup we own...well i am feeling relieved because he drank a whole sippy of milk yesterday! 
he is drinking out of the nuby sippy with a silicone spout. he still doesn't do well with one he actually has to suck hard to get milk out, but i will take what i can get!!

 mimi took charlie out to see his balloons...that flew away before his party started :(

 the dessert table



 the favors (whale stuffy, bubbles, and a sour patch kid gummy)

 the food table (obviously i took this before we put the food out)
we served hot dogs, chili, cole slaw, chips, goldfish, and grapes)





 my mom made charlie's banner :)
