Updates

I know I have not sent out an update in a while about how Caelan is doing, so here goes. Caelan is now almost running anywhere he goes. I went back to work for the summer which meant he got to go with me. He loves being at the daycare and having other children to play with! I think this has really helped him develop his language and development skills. He is beginning to talk more and more. He can say juice, Bella, uh-oh, goat, and some of the kids names in his class. It comes out a little funny sometimes, but you know what he is saying. He is so cute! He is also getting bigger physically. He is 32 inches tall and weighs almost 23 pounds. (This was at the 1 year check up.) He also has a huge foot. One question for the mothers- why doesn't anyone tell you that when your child learns how to take off their shoe it means they are probably to small for their feet? I learned this the hard way with Caelan. I thought he needed new shoes for a couple of weeks, but did not think seriously about it. When we finally went to get him some we ended up with a 6 1/2! I had been stuffing the poor child's foot into a 5 for the last couple of months. I must not have caught on the first time because I did it with his Sunday shoes as well. I was putting those shoes on him this past Sunday and thinking they were hard to get on. Guess what- when we took the shoes off of his feet he had blisters from where they were rubbing on the back of his heel! I felt like I was batting a thousand in the mom department! I will always remember this for when he moves up in to a bigger size! I hope everyone is doing great and as always take care!
