Or should I say 1 year old? I officially have a toddler and refuse to think this way! He is my baby and will always be my baby! I have been getting pictures together for his party and I am amazed at how much he has changed in a year. He is such a big boy now. Here are a few of him over the year.
Still not walking yet :( For the past month he has been taking steps then falling and crawling the rest of the way. I am just waiting for him to just stand up and start running. He will not let us hold his hands and help him. He will walk around with a walker all day long. He just doesn't want to walk alone yet.
We have six teeth, working on eight at the moment. He chews on everything he can find. It's getting hard to brush those little teeth because all he wants to do is bite my finger.
As for talking. It's all still jibberish, really. He still says "mama" and "dada." He has started saying what sounds like "apple" and sometimes says "apple juice" but who knows what he is really saying. You can ask him where the light is and he will look up at the light.
We no longer use a bottle or formula. He strictly uses whole milk in a sippy cup. He is a little spoiled because he will not hold his sippy sup by himself. He wants me to hold it. We are working on that! As for food, we mostly do finger foods now. Chicken nuggets, french fries, PB&J sandwiches, any kind of chopped up fruit or steamed veggies. He has become a bottomless pit. He has always been a good eater though.
As always for any kid, he loves bath time. His favorite thing is to splash the water everywhere. He has also found the stopper and likes to pull that out.
Happy 1st Birthday big boy!!! Mommy and Daddy love you!
This year has gone by so fast. Words can't describe the love I have for this child. Everyone tells you this in the beginning but you never understand it until you live it. He has brought so much joy into our lives and I can't remember what we did before he was here. I am so glad that we did professional pictures as often as we did and I hope that I continue that with the next one. Angela Zuill met up with us at The Oaklands in Murfreesboro to take some 12 month pictures. Here as some (because they are all so good) of my favorites!
You are growing up to be such a handsome and loving little boy! As bad as I want you to stay as a baby I know that you will grow up to be a handsome and loving man too. Stay sweet little boy! You are my sunshine, my only sunshine!
