Kempton: 1 year!

Kempton Elias is 1!


Here is an update on our handsome little one year old!

Height: 30 inches (50th percentile)
Weight: 21lbs 5 oz. (50th percentile)

He has 7 teeth. 3 on the bottom and 4 on the top

Kemp usually goes to bed around 8-8:30 and gets up around 6:30 or 7.

His naps are sporadic but he usually takes 2 naps a day.

He is a pretty good eater! He loves chicken nuggets, green beans, all kinds of fruit, french toast,  and pancakes.

Kemp is one smart little guy. He is very good at repeating an action, so if you show him how to do something he will do it again and again. Videos to come on that one! :)

He is obsessed with climbing the stairs. We don't let him climb it by himself, because while he is good at climbing them, he is not always very careful. He usually doesn't want to go upstairs to play, but just wants to climb them. It starts to drive us crazy so we have tried to block the stairs, and he either figures out how to get around it or through it.

Kemp is walking a lot more now, but knows it is faster to crawl.

He will point at things when he wants them and can sign "please"

Kemp says dada, yah! and makes the "m" sound when he wants more. He also says a lot of other sounds, but I don't really think he says many words yet!

He is so happy!! He still wakes up happy and is almost always smiling and laughing.Kemp does have little tantrums when we don't let him climb the stairs or take something away from him. His tantrums don't last long and he just lays his head on the floor.

Kempton still loves baths and now sometimes takes baths with Cohen which they both love.

He loves to wave bye bye and starts waving when we put his shoes on.

His teachers at daycare say that he loves playing in the big kid classroom.

Kemp still loves music, dancing and clapping.

He is a daddy's boy especially when it comes to cuddling.

He loves to throw balls and kick them off a tee :) Video later!


So fun to see how much they grow and change in a year!

And from this...


(sorry, it wouldn't let me put the video in here..)

To this...



Here are a few more videos of him. The first one is Cohen and Grammy showing him how to hit the ball with the bat and then the second one is of him doing it (or trying to anyway!) :)





Then my dad showed him how to stick the football on this little toy and then taught him how to kick it. I love how excited Kempton gets, and I just love that giggle! :)




Kempton is just the perfect addition to our family. It has been an amazing year with him and I am excited to watch him grow and learn new things in the upcoming year! Happy birthday, sweet Kempton!

Love, 
Katie
