Getting Well and One Year Stuff

The kids are returning to their normal and happy selves. Yup those are smiles you see on the children above.
A Doctor's appointment again today confirmed that aside from an ear infection we are almost better.

It was also Samuel's one year well check.
Here are his stats

Weight: 20.13 lbs 20%
Height: 30 1/6 inches 75%
Head: 18 1/2 75%

Having Sam in our lives has been a delight thus far. He is a very expressive child- meaning we always know how he feels. Thankfully this is almost always happy so we enjoy a household of laughs and smiles. He loves to cuddle with his mom and get flipped, wrestled and thrown in the air by his dad. He literally begs for more. He is a bit of a godzilla, but Kate usually tolerates him knocking over things she has built and stealing anything she is playing with.
He likes cuddling his cat and blankets, playing with the dog, pointing, reading books, getting into the cupboards, climbing the stairs, following Kate do whatever she is doing, and playing in the bath. He also loves going to bed a night- and happily is sleeping from 7:00 pm to 6:00 am with a two hour nap in the morning.
He hasn't been eating solid foods with the ravenous expectations I had for him. But he loves his bottle- as long as it doesn't have whole milk in it.
He has two almost three teeth.
He says "Mama, Dada, Dog, Tate, What's That, Nigh Nigh" and has an awesome tiger "Growl"
He waves, claps,"sings" dances, throws a ball better than our two year old and likes to say "ahhh" back and forth with us in the car.
He still won't let go of the furniture to walk. Kate was walking like a pro by this age, so his reluctance surprises us. He actually gets scared over a lot of things, but I think some of this is just because he is so attached to me his mother.

All is well with our little guy. As soon as we are fully recovered I intend to have some one year pictures taken.
