Update

It's hard to believe that Peter has been with us for 4 months already! Our big boy is 13 months old now. Although he was able to walk across the room since 11 months, he is just now finally walking on his own with confidence! This is such a cute stage! He loves his new freedom. He has been going up and down the stairs for a few months now by himself. He is actually the earliest walker of all our children! Hannah walked at 13 mos, Taylor at 14 mos, Greta at 15 months and Ricky at 2 years.
Peter loves bath time, especially if Ricky or Greta is in the tub with him! He still loves meal times best of all. The only food he won't eat is broccoli! He's saying mama and dada and a few other words. He knows so much when we talk to him. He points to things when we ask him to, such as fans, birds, airplanes and highchair. You never need to call him twice for meals! Peter loves sleeping in the same room as Ricky and they have a blast every morning when they wake up at 6:00-6:30. They giggle and play together until someone takes Peter out of his crib. They are really good buddies! Peter loves watching Ricky being silly and you know he's getting ideas for himself!


Peter still takes great naps during the day...about 2-4 hours total! Plus he goes to bed at 7:30 and sleeps until 6:30 or later if Ricky doesn't wake him up! He's a great easy-going kid and we are all really enjoying this stage of his life.

At his 12 month doctor visit, he weighed 23 pounds and has dropped from the 75 % for weight to the 55 %. He still is in the 75 % for height so it looks like he will be a tall, slim guy as he gets older. Peter just gets more and more handsome every day!!!!
