Cy: Twelve Months

My little Cy Man, You are not quite so little anymore. I can't believe it has already been a year since you were born.se pictures are from right as you turned 12 months, but as I'm writing this, you are actually 14 months old.

Sometimes, you even use your new ability to schooch over to my feet and cry to be picked-up. It's pretty cute. At your six month appointment, you were 26.75 inches long (55%) and weighed 17 pounds (39%). You had your first cold recently. I felt so bad that there was so little I could do to help you feel … [Read more...]
