1 year, Little Man. A whole year. You love food, anything with wheels, pacifiers, and tearing the house apart. And your hair is completely crazy :)
- You are showing off your “determined” side as of late. Meaning, I tell you “no” and you LAUGH. Did I mention you just turned 1? We’re not ready for this kind of rebellion!
- You are signing “milk” these days with your chubby little hand…not because I taught you, but because Sissy did. She’s SO proud!
- You love “tinkering” and “fixing” things…So far, you’ve broken the vacuum cleaner and the soap “holder” in the dishwasher. Auntie Em and Uncle Tom got you a tool table for your birthday, so I’m hoping to harness some of that imagination into something less destructive on our house!
- All that exploring is exhausting and thankfully, you are a good napper (and sleeper, in general). Sissy won't know what to do when you drop that morning nap!
- You wave “bye” to anyone that will look at you, or anyone you *think* is looking at you.
- Separation anxiety has hit…bigtime. You turn into a blubbering, red-faced child the moment we get near the nursery at church.
- Your Daddy has had your 1st birthday gift picked out since he heard “it’s a boy” when you were a 13 ounce person in my belly :) There’s a giant dump truck that lives at our house now and you love it…almost as much as your Daddy does!
- You have SIX teeth! And 2 more that aren’t far behind. You’re losing the baby look way too fast for this Mama’s liking…
- You’re rocking 6-12 month, 9 month, and even some 12 month clothes! You’re in size 3 diapers.
- At 1 year old, you weigh a whopping 18 pounds and 10 ounces; you’re 28 ¼ inches long. (Your weight is at the 11th percentile and your height is at the 3rd percentile, meaning most 1 year olds are bigger than you!) Your big noggin’ is at the 75th percentile…but we already knew you were smart!
We love you, Sweet Boy, more than you’ll ever know and we are so thankful you’re part of our family.
Love always,
Mommy
