Silas Walking

I thought you all might enjoy seeing a video of Silas walking around.

Enjoy!

A Developmental Explosion!

Silas is 13 months old today!

A lot has happened this month:

*Silas' 12 Month Stats:

*Height: 29 1/4 inches (30%)

*Weight: 19 lbs 1/2 oz (8%) (He is still rear facing in the car)

*Head: 18 3/4 inches (78%)

*Silas started walking and running on his own... there is no stopping him now!

*I have had to do some serious baby-proofing

*Silas got his first tooth! His bottom left tooth just broke through a couple days ago and it looks like the right one is not far behind.

*Silas is saying about 30 or so words (that Paul and I understand)

*Silas said his first 2 word phrase (DeeDa PPhhh*spitting*) Translation: Daddy made an elephant noise that sounded like Ppphhh.

*Silas got his first (and second) bumps on his head.

*We got a family picture taken.

And now for some pictures:

Last weekend we went hiking at Devil's Head Lookout Tower. It is a fire tower where you can see for about 100 miles on a clear day! It was amazing. Silas had to touch every tree and rock going up and down. Paul and I took turns carrying him on our backs. (The pictures are a little out of order)

Silas was a little wiped out after the hike!

Our friend Allison Youngren took some family pictures for us and Silas' one year pictures (here are afew)
