The birthday week

Well, it was hard to give an update everyday this week so I'll do a quick week-long update.

Kahlil had his one year appointment on Thursday and it went well. Kahlil is 23.75 pounds (60th percentile) and 30.5 inches (75th percentile). This surprised me because he seems like a BIG and HEAVY boy. He also got his shots. It is heartbreaking every time that happens. But he is almost done with those for a while.

Other than the shots on Thursday, there were a couple big head bumps. Before we went to the doctor, he fell on his new cart and cut the inside of his lip. That bleed pretty good. Then in the afternoon while we were at the shop, he bumped his head on the metal chair leg. It caused a little red lump. And finally at home in the evening he fell again and got a little cut on his hand. Thank goodness Thursday is over!

Friday and Saturday were a little rough but not bad considering the shots, bumps/bruises, a new tooth, and a slight cold.

One of his new tricks is to get a bottle out of the recycling bin and hold it up for us to blow on it. He likes the sound it makes. After we blow, he holds the up to his mouth and hums. It's pretty cute.

We also think his first word will be/is 'shark'. He really likes the shark painted in his bedroom. When you ask him where the shark is he goes straight there and looks behind the door. He also says 'sh-ka' which is pretty close to 'shark'.

Today we are off to a friends first birthday... TJ was born almost exactly 24 hours after Kahlil.
