Happy Birthday Oakley!

Happy Birthday day baby boy! You have brought such joy to our lives the past year and have made our family complete (yes Corey complete). You are a crazy, happy, full of energy, and strive to do everything that your big brother is doing. You have gone from barely walking at 9 months to running, climbing, and talking at 1 year old. You love to eat and will eat EVERYTHING in your site. It is such a joy and brings us so much pride to watch you grow into a little boy.

Here's the 12 month Stats

• Height 29 1/2 (36%)
• Weight 21lbs 6oz (52%)
• head 18 1/2 inche (76%)

Once again much to my suprise you are right on track with what Laker was at 12 months old. within a 1/4 inch in height, ounces in weight, and even your big ole head is the same size his was.

This boy is growing fast, and catching up to big brother in so many ways. Here is what this little guy has been up to.

• sleeping from 7p-7a (yeah)
• went from scooting-crawling-speed crawling-WALKING around furniture and behind toys all in a matter of a few short weeks.
• Loves to play with (steal toys) from Laker. (Laker not liking this so much)
• Starting to enjoy big boy food (he loves mash potatoes)
• Him and Memphis (dog) have a very special bond, he loves him and Memphis loves him back (the dog pretty much hates the rest of us) When Oakley is sleeping Memphis has to be right next to his crib.
• He is looking more and more like Corey and acting like him too, he has quite a little temper when he doesn't get his way.
• Saying his first word DaDa, I think he might be putting together that Corey is DaDa but either way Daddy is LOVING it.
• This boy has had more black eyes, bumps and bruised then any child should, and very few are from big bro, he is crazy and nothing slows this kid down or makes him cry.
• I can already see it in his eyes as soon as he can walk and walk well him and Laker are going to be best friends and worse enemies all at the same time

Oakley you have made our life's so complete everyday you make us laugh, I can't wait to see what the next few month's have in store for you. Keep on growing baby boy. We love you!

Cranes

We took our yearly trip to Cranes this past Sunday to pick some Apples, take a nice hayride, and of course get apple cider and doughnuts!

Laker loved picking apples this year Oakley had a great time too.

This is Laker last year, Oct 2010, wow how this boy has grown.

Laker 18 month Stats

• Weight 23lbs 13oz (25%)
• Height 31 1/2 inches (25%)
• Head 48cm (50%)

Oakley 2 month Stats

• Weight 11lbs 13oz (40%)
• Height 22 1/2 inches (30%)
• Head 38cm (15%)

As you can see the boys aren't topping the charts yet but I was shocked to find out that Laker and Oakley's 2 month Stats are VERY similar. I thought for sure Oakley had Laker well surpassed in weight and height but my little 5 pound baby Laker was a 12 pounder at 2 months and their height is only 1/2 different. I still think Oakley is going to be the "big" little brother some day but as for now he is following in big bro's growth pattern. Happy we have 2 healthy little boys.
