13 Months

Our little man is growing like a weed - can't believe yet another month has has flown by.  Seems like each month goes by even faster than the last.  We have had a good month - been healthy for the most part and just been living our day to day life.  Cannon is constantly learning and trying new things - including testing his limits with us.  He loves to explore and see what he can find - and is learning the art to driving his sister crazy.....oh the fun times.  Its going to get really interesting soon when he really starts getting into her stuff....hahahaha.  Payback for Brooklynn for her bugging her big brother...hahahaha - the circle of life...lol!

Anyway....here's what Cannon is up to at 13 months:

•Weighs 24.1 lbs according to his Dr's appt last week

•Wears size 4 diapers

•Wearing mainly size 18 mos and 24 mos clothing.  Also can wear several pieces of clothing in size 2T - definitely following in his sister's footsteps - going to be a big boy!

•Finally made the switch to whole milk (yay - its like a pay raise not having to buy formula all the time) Still has been drinking 4 bottles per day.  Our  next goal is to get hime switched over to a sippy cup instead of a bottle....one thing at a time :)

•Still a great eater - definitely doesn't miss any meals - hahahaha!  Loves his pasta, fruits, veggies, etc.  And he is definitely my boy - he LOVES french fries....lol!

•Still cruises along while holding onto things.  Loves to walk around if we are holding both his hands and is getting really good at it...but has no desire to try it on his own yet - or even holding just one of our hands - has to be both or he will just sit himself down.

•He now crawls the normal crawl everywhere - and he has gotten FAST!

•Still has the same 6 teeth - nothing new still.

•Made yet another trip back to the dr last week - he had a yeast infection - seriously?  Didn't know a boy could get that....but I guess from being on antibiotics pretty much all winter, his system was just all messed up - poor little guy!

•Sleeps 8pm-8am - although he is starting to wake up a little earlier...trying to guide him back in the right direction - ha!

•His napping schedule seems to have settled back down and went back to his 2 naps every day.  Although now it seems like the morning was is becoming the longer one - usually goes down around 11am and sleeps until 12:30-1:00pm...and then a shorter nap in the afternoon around 3:30/4:00 - 5pm.

•Still eats and/ or chews everything he can get his hands on

•Loves to play with his water table he got for his birthday - he loves any and all water - until you pour it over his head and then he is done.

•Still enjoys his walker outside....he is super fast in it.  The minute you put him in it - he takes off and runs straight for the road.  Also loves to be pushed around in Brooklynn's little pink car outside.  He will hold his hands up in the air like he is on a roller coaster - so cute!

•If I put him on the ground outside, he will do a crab walk kind of crawl - up on his hands and feet so his knees don't touch the ground - its hilarious.


•No new words since last update - just Mama & Dada still but we are working on it.

•Loves to sit on the floor with me and roll the ball back and forth - thinks it is the funniest thing ever.

•Loves when we sing to him - favorite song is "If you're happy and you know it...."

And now of course the pics.....he is just such a mess.  His hair is out of control and as much as I love his curls...I know the time is coming when I have to take him for a haircut.  All those curls make this little boy hot!!!  It will be a sad day..hoping he keeps at least some of them - I love his messy look - its just so Cannon :)

And Brookie wanted her picture taken too - and wanted a sign just like Cannon...so I figured out exactly how old my little girl was and took her pic too - she was so excited!  When did she get so big???

And since everyone was in a picture taking mood...I thought I would try to get a cute pic of these two.....hahahaha - what a joke!  They wouldn't leave each other alone!

 Look out Brookie - its the attack of the Cannon!!!!!!
