Not a Baby Anymore...

We sort of missed our window on a 12-month-stats post, but here they are anyway--at his 12 month check-up Simon weighed in at 21 lbs 1 oz, and was 29.75 inches tall/long. He's around the 45th percentile for height and head circumference, and around 25th percentile for weight.

Over the past month, he has been busy showing us over and over again that he is leaving his baby ways behind in favor of new and exciting toddler behaviors! I must admit, I am a little sad to say goodbye to the baby days...but I'm sure that will happen as he passes every milestone, and I know there are new joys ahead. Here are a couple of videos we've collected over the past weeks that give you a glimpse into Simon's day to day activities of late:

Simon has recently started using his push-behind toy for its intended purpose--but only on occasion. It rolls too fast for him on the hardwood floors, where he spends much of his playtime, but as you can see here, he does pretty well with it on the carpet.

Here you can see that he has become adept at cruising--he'll go from object to object, let go with one hand to grab something (e.g. toss a basket out of his way!), look around, etc. You'll also hear him squeal with delight when he sees his friend Zoe's photo in the new photo album she gave him for his birthday--thanks Zoe!
