bottomless pit

Three meals, two snacks and four bottles... and he just keeps eating!  I thought this wasn't supposed to happen until he was a teenager, but Zane is turning into a bottomless pit.  I think he's making up for everything he didn't eat and the weight he lost while being sick.  Just today he ate some yogurt with peaches, an entire waffle + the rest of his yogurt, mixed veggies + cheese + raspberries + mum mum crackers, tofu +cheddar bunny crackers, and butternut squash soup + more veggies + a roll.  And his 4 bottles.  I'm not sure how it all fits into his little body.

We got to go to the pediatrician yesterday for Zane's one year check up!!  He's 22 lbs 2 oz and 31 inches tall (39th and 84th %).  It's amazing how much has changed in one year - he started out at 7 lbs 1 oz and 20 inches...  he's been busy growing! 

So at one year, he has 7 teeth, has gained 15 pounds, grown 11 inches taller, sleeps about 12 hours at night, takes a single nap for 2-3 hours, waves, high fives, claps, rolls, crawls, cruises, stands, giggles uncontrollably, babbles, says a few words (officially, unofficially... how do we know??), bangs things together, empties drawers, "helps" unload the dryer, splashes around in his personal sensory table (aka, Molly's water bowl), climbs into your lap when you sit down with a book, turns the pages.... he's generally busy.  All the time.  For the 10 hours he's awake :)  Actually, I take that back; he's busy moving in his sleep too.

His check up went really well, and I had to laugh when she asked if Zane was showing interest in walking - like using walkers, while holding onto our hands, etc.  Zane uses anything that he can push as a walker - boxes that we bring in from the porch, us, chairs, his new rocking horse...  Here's a short video of how we spent part of our morning (between eating) for our snow day today.  He started out going up and down the hall with the walker we got him for his birthday:



Then he moved on to using a new activity table that he got as a gift (clearly it's more maneuverable):
