Rockwell

well, rockwell turned 1 year old and had his check-up appointment where he jumped the gun and measured all the way in the 47th percentile (the biggest hoffmann babe yet)

how ironic that the only picture i took during the appointment was of katherine patiently helping ellory pick out a sticker. oh well. sorry rockwell :)

some of his highlights include:

 still eating everything that is put in front of him

 (anytime we are sitting down to eat and the kids don't like what they have or don't eat it all, they say- that's ok. rockwell will eat it!) 

waving hello and good-bye

clapping

he loves music and always dances and laughs when he hears some

walking along everything

speed crawler, both on all fours and with knees off floor

quick to laugh

very patient when waiting his turn

a super climber

easily self-entertained

exploring everything

loves being outside. whenever he hears someone coming or going, he races to the door to try and get out. 

comes when calls

says, dad, mom, all done, and lots of  babbling 

beginning to point at things

laughs at the sound of objects colliding

easily upset at loud noises (blender, mom and dad slip n sliding, etc)

beginning to throw tantrums by flinging himself backward 

puts everything in his drooly mouth, but will spit it out when asked

overall, a pleasant, happy, fun  boy!
