My sweet boy turned one year old last week! My how fast it has gone! Beau is walking everywhere and climbling whatever he can. He's like a little monkey. He learned to climb the stairs and onto the couch. He is such a stong boy. One day a few weeks ago, Andy was home with the boys while I was out running some errands and he sends me a picture message on my phone as he often does. It was a picture of Beau standing on top of our tv stand bracing himself on our flat screen tv! What a sight that was! Andy said he was in the kitchen sending a quick email and noticed it had been a little too quiet so he got up to check on Beau and he had managed to climb his way up there. Very scary and thankful he didn't fall, but we had to laugh!

Beau has such a vibrant personality! He loves to make himself known and isn't afraid to use his voice. Even if it's in the middle of the night or the middle of the mall. He still is having issues with sleep, but he is getting better. He slept through the night the last two nights, so we may be turning a corner! He recently started drinking whole milk and I am starting to wean him. It is going really well so far and he really likes his milk. We had both the boys 1 year and 3 year check ups last week as well. I am so thankful for two healthy boys. Beau is doing great, but is quite small for his age. He weighs 18.3 pounds and is 29 inches long. He is in the 3rd percentile for weight and 25th for height, which really isn't important overall, but it is nice to know. The doctor said there is no problem with his weight and that he probably just has a really high metabolism and is skinny because he is so active. He is actually a really good eater! I have been trying to give him lots of protein like avacados, scrambled eggs, yogurt etc. and he eats it all.

Isaac on the other hand is my big boy! He is in the 75 % for weight and 90% for height at 34 pounds and 39 inches tall. He is getter so big and is extremely smart! We are getting ready to celebrate his birthday tomorrow since daddy is going to be away on the actual day so we are taking him to Chuckie Cheese much to his surprise! I will post some pics of him soon!
