Milestones: first birthday check-up

At one year, Theo weighs in at 21 pounds, only the 25th percentile, but at a whopping 31.5 inches, he's in the 90th percentile for height! Long and lean! An athlete's body perhaps, and certainly likely to be like more like Matt and I's 6 ft tall brothers than us in height. He's had 8 teeth for weeks, and now has two lower molars coming in, one on each side. Poor kid, they starting coming in on his birthday weekend, and boy do they look like they hurt! He says about 5 words, mama, dada, this, that, and something resembling "icicle" or "its a good" or something, but he clearly thinks its a word. He waves goodbye now, too, and high-fives, gives kisses, claps, and points at everything. He also uses pointing, yelling, and crying to get what he wants, and is become more and more insistent about said desires! He pushes toys around the house, walking behind them, and every day he goes farther walking by holding my hands. Of course he's still a speed demon when it comes to crawling. He can stand for several seconds at a time and loves stand and then to fall backwards onto his bottom on the couch over and over again, in peels of laughter. One of the funniest things he does is laugh big ha-ha-ha's in response to grown ups around him laughing. He's definitely a social kid. The first time he waved goodbye to me as I was leaving for work was last Thursday, and it just made my day.
