Lawson 15 Month Appt. Stats...Late Post

I am 2 months late in posting Lawson's 15 month appointment stats. "The Big Guy" is growing up so fast...we feel like he looks like a 2 year old already.

Weight: 27 lbs. (94%)

Height: 33.2 Inches (98%)

HC: 18.2 Inches (72%)

Some things about Lawson:
~ He is a super cute cuddly boy :) Melts my heart how sweet he can be.
~ He is the class biter at school.
~ He doesn't have a wide vocabulary but has a ton of personality.
~ He loves tractors, books, dogs, and any sort of moving animal.
~He eats anything, except we have noticed he doesn't like tacos or meals with ground beef.
~He loves his big sister and for the most part they play well together.
~ He loves running around yelling with is sister...they run laps together around the townhouse.
~ He is a good napper/sleeper and is attached to his 2 blankets.

Trip to the Orchard 2014

It has been forever since I have posted anything. So I am going to do better and try to catch up on my posts. The below pics Mitch and I took this past weekend at the orchard. We went both Sat for 4 hours and 3 on Sunday.

The kids had a good time, especially since we don't have a yard because we are renting. The orchard will be our "Fall yard" I guess.

Happy Birthday Lawson!!!!

The BIG GUY turned one last Wednesday!! He is growing up so fast...this year has just flown by. Lawson is taking on average 3-4 on his own without holding on for support. With extreme coaxing he will take more. He has figured out how to open his bedroom door and our pantry door! So it is a matter of time before he realizes he can get into his sisters room! Lawson has also learned how to open the dvd player to get the little tray to come out. Lawson (aka: lamp crusher) has managed to break 1 floor lamp and 1 table lamp (just broke out the light bulb).

Lawson was moved up to the 1yr room 2 weeks now and is doing good getting used to only 1 nap and less bottles. He still gets 2 a day so we have to work on eliminating those in the upcoming weeks.

Lawson's 1 Year Stats:

Weight: 24 lbs.11 oz. (91%)

Height: 31.5 inches (96%)

HC: 18.5 inches (76%)

Lawson and Adrian had their school pics close to his 1 year Birthday, Lawson wasn't feeling very photogenic so we stopped in to the photo place to try and get a few redos. This was one of those :)

Random Cell Pics

Short video of the Big Guy :)

Adrian picked out these glasses at the mall. We got some looks when we were walking out :)

A first for Adrian...last week I could not find my ring in the morning when I was getting ready for work. Come to find out Adrian got up in the middle of the night and took it from my nightstand to then hide it under hers. She gave it up easy but now I have been wearing my ring to bed to avoid another incident.

Tooth Fairy's 1st visit!

Adrian lost her first tooth Feb. 12th followed by her second tooth on the 13th! The tooth fairy left a dollar per tooth along with a purple and teal jewel. The pic below was after the 1st tooth came out while brushing and we lost down the drain :(

Our little Fox at 9 Months

Lawson turned 9 Months on Jan 2nd! Below are some pics, stats, and milestones!

Weight: 22 lbs (84%)

Height: 30" (96%)

HC: 18" (69%)

Lawson biggest milestone is he is walking by pushing our dinning room chairs around like a walker. They go slower then the walking toys which is perfect for him.

Lawson still sleeps like a trooper (10-11hrs)

Lawson is just transitioning from 4 to 3 bottles a day. He also eats regular food 3-4 times a day.

Lawson still only has the two lower teeth but his top ones are very close to coming.

Lawson recognizes his name but we are still working on the waving bye-bye.

Lawson loves to wrestle around, drool on anyone, and even occasionally bites at your legs and feet :)

Lawson has the cutest hair color...it is reddish, brown, blonde all depending on the light. I tend to dress him in orange to bring out the color. Even the librarian commented on his cute hair color :)

Lawson is just a sweetheart and we can't wait to see what other changes and things he learns!

Top Ten of 2013

With the start of 2014, I wanted to document our families Top Ten of 2013. These are a combination of changes for the family and things we are thankful for.

1. Lawson being born into our family (April 2nd)

2. Our health, especially the kids, so thankful I have healthy kids!

3. Sold our house in Polk City

4. The feeling/realization of our family being complete now that we have little Lawson (no more kids:)

5. I got a new more flexible job in September (almost 8 yrs w/ Nationwide)

6. Mitch started a new job with Sears late Aug

7. Moved to Ankeny into a rental townhouse

8. Became van owners...never thought that day would come!

9. Adrian's: "Thankful for everything (friends, family, God, clouds, teachers, Grandma, Grandpa, Nick, Tony, Joe, princesses, my brother, Dad, letters)"

10. Lawson's (this is my guess): Bottles, kisses, big sister, comfy pants, a soft crib sheet, mom and dad who have unconditional love, bathtime, daycare toys & friends.

Below are various picture from my cell phone from fall/winter:
