Bryce's Stats



Just to clarify, Drew is not grabbing himself in those last pictures. I asked him to pull his shirt down because it was up over the waist of his pants and he just kept his hand there. I tried to pull it away but then he put his hand right back to his shirt....just to clarify.
On to Bryce. I finally got him into the doctor today for his 1 year appointment, yes almost a month late.

Weight 20lbs 13 oz (20%)
Height 31 inches (78%)
Head 18 1/4 inches (50%)

Bryce is doing fabulously and just continues to grow super tall. To compare, Kylee is 36 inches tall so he just needs to grow 5 more inches and he is as tall as Kylee. He loves to babble and make lots of noise. He totally knows when he is annoying someone and will continue his annoyance because he knows it is bothering someone. He is very laid back but knows how to throw good tantrums. We know when he is ready for a nap or bed because he gets so mad at the toy he is playing with. It is quite funny to watch him get so upset because the toy isn't doing exactly what he thinks it should be doing. Two days after he turned 1, Bryce decided to get the courage to walk on his own and he hasn't stopped. He loves this new found freedom and can get up in a standing position right in the middle of a room with no support. He is our smartest kid and picks up things so quickly. Except for talking. He only says 2 words, momma and dadda but just like his walking, I think he is just absorbing everything and will take off with his talking when he is 100% ready. He loves pretty much any food I give him but his absolute favorite is corn on the cob. We give him a third of a cob and he will just eat at it for 30 min. in his highchair so happy. If you try to take it away from him, he will let you know to back away. His favorite toys are the toy vacuum and lawnmower, my old cell phone, his toothbrush, and any hairbrush. He will just walk around carrying one of these in his hand thinking he is just the best. He also loves to get into the dogs' food and water, and will have a heyday with both if left unattended. I think he can't wait for it to get a little cooler so he can go outside to play. He is definitely our little explorer and just doesn't understand why Drew and Kylee can go outside but not him. We let him play a little bit here and there, but not every time he would like. What a life a 1 year old has!

What a cutie! I just took Jackson in for his 9 month and he is pretty much exacactly the same size. I think he was maybe an inch shorter.

So fun when they start walking and how "free" and "big" they think they are! LOVE IT!
