Happy First Birthday, Malcolm!

Happy first birthday, sweet baby boy! 

Height: 31.8 inches (98th percentile)

Weight: 24 pounds, 4 ounces (88th percentile)

Head: 19.4 inches (off the charts -- still! Somehow there's something greater than 100%)

2 teeth 

Malcolm's favorite things are mama, food, and following dada and sister around the house.  He will eat anything now, except eggs.  Eggs make him angry.  He eats three meals a day, and nurses four times a day (morning, naps, and bedtime).  

Just in time for his birthday, Malcolm began walking! May 1st he took off and hasn't looked back. 

Malcolm plays in the kitchen, mostly pulling everything out and then walking around everywhere with a spatula or the pretend pizza cutter. He loves his dinosaur. He gives hugs now and loves to dive to give hugs, then right back to mama or dad.  He has also started giving (very open-mouthed) kisses!

For Malcolm's birthday we took him to the Pt. Defiance Zoo & Aquarium.  We all had a great time! 

The zoo proved to be a little too exciting for the birthday boy
