Canaan Catchup and 1 year update

I have not posted any pictures of Canaan in ages...so here's a few to show you him over the last few months. The biggest change you will see is in his hair!

Here he was in April - 8 months old. Standing and cruising but no official steps! He was 21 lbs 7 oz and was 31.5 inches tall.

 Here is was in May - 9 months old

These next few are from June - 10 months old. He was 24 lbs 15 oz, and was 32.5 inches tall. 

 Note the hair starting to get curlier!

Here are pics from July - 11 months old, and entering into two new phases, walking and crazy hair!

He LOVED the beach and the sand. So much so, that he is spoiled, when we came back home, he cried when we tried taking him in a regular pool. I guess it was colder than what he expected it to be!

I still think he looks mostly like his Daddy...I'm not seeing much of me in there!

Here are pics from August - 12 months old! He is walking like a pro, and FULL of mischief...touching things that the girls never even thought to touch! He is full of trouble, but always with a smile!

At his 12 month checkup, he had slimmed down a bit (24 lbs 12 oz), which I think happened during the vacation. He was 33 inches tall - so in typical style for our kids...well off the charts for his height!

 We celebrated his birthday this past weekend - and went with a sports theme. He loves balls and so we featured all the sports Daddy would like him to play:-D

 After doing rainbow themed marshmallows at Mattea's party, why not baseballs? and a few footballs while we're at it! Then dipped some oreos in white chocolate and made them into baseballs. I finally tried working with royal icing (for the stitching), and it was surprisingly easy!

 I hauled out all of Mark's old sports paraphernalia - trophies, jerseys, plaques, medals, even equipment and hung them up throughout the house. His family had fun going down memory lane as they saw all his old stuff! And if you look closely...you will notice a small jersey in dining room...that one is Caney's! He got it as a baby gift and at this rate...will be fitting in it soon!:-)

 And of course, who can forget the birthday boy! All decked out in his Raptors jersey from Grandpa and Grandma Kennedy:-D It was his first time wearing it (officially - its hung in his room as decoration!), and it won't be the last!:-D
