Happy late 1st birthday!

Happy Birthday to my one year old boy!! Better late than never...we've been in San Diego and fighting off colds. Here's a pic of the birthday boy on his birthday (he couldn't have cared less about his little birthday cupcake, but I think that was because he was getting sick), and in his COOL Star Wars shirt from his Aunt Lindsey...

Fall is in the air

The pic is a little bad since I took it with my phone, but this is a little pic of Guillermo helping our co-op leader peel an apple...yum yum. The apples peeled in our class went to feed the next day's class and we ate the apples peeled from the day before...ah, nothing like apples handled by toddlers...at least the apples were cooked :)

Happy 11 months!

I thought this was a better depiction of Guillermo's being 11 months old than the normal pic with the stuffed animal since it's nearly impossible to get a still shot of him anymore. This is his new favorite thing to do. This was our last HOT day, no more lazy days in diapers anymore...not until next year anyway!

Walking...

10 months old

Happy 10 months! To celebrate, Guillermo took 3 steps at a party last night. He didn't know anyone but Bill and me, and didn't seem to think it was as big of a deal as we did. Today he's been doing little one steps and then crawling...but I'm getting the video camera ready! I wonder if I'll follow him around for weeks with the camera on the ready like when he crawled...of course I will!!

Notice that picture had to be taken while Guillermo was asleep. He doesn't cooperate with planned pictures so well anymore!

Guillermo's "School"

Here is the link to Guillermo's new pre-school that we'll be starting in September. How exciting!

9 1/2 month appt

Guillermo was a trooper at his 9 month appt (a little late, so 9.5 months really). He had his last Pediarix shot and screamed like a banshee, but all in all it was great. He only screamed during his shot and when the doctor decided to check his ears and heartbeat. Other than that, he was very brave. The odd news is that he has lost weight. This is the first time EVER for Guillermo. He has lost 2 ounces since we were there 3 weeks ago. The doctor seemed a bit confused by this since he should be tapering off, but not losing weight, but he said that Guillermo will most likely be one of those babies that stays the same weight until he's 18 months or so. My little chubby baby is going to turn into a lanky kid??? I like his rolls!!

Guillermo was also given the go-ahead to eat whatever he wants as long as it isn't strawberries, honey, peanut butter or any kind of nuts. This means he can start eating meat, eggs, and even ice cream (I think our doctor likes ice cream because he was all excited to tell me that Guillermo could eat it now!) Wow! He's turning into a big boy!

So, the new percentages are:

Weight: 23 lbs, 1 oz, 80%
Height: 30 inches, 90%

New cool mad skillz include standing on his own more and more along with taking ONE step! He did this for his dad the other night. I, unfortunately, was washing dishes and missed the action, but I'm ready and waiting for another such occasion. Yeah, Guillermo!
