Size:
You just had your 1 year check-up and weigh 21lbs 9oz (76%) and
are 29.5 inches tall (61%). Your hair
has just kept growing & growing and is about 6 inches long.
Sleep:
You have been sleeping great lately…napping &
nighttime. You go to bed about 7:30 and
will sleep a good 12 hours. You are
still taking a quick nap in the morning and then about a 2 hour nap in the
afternoon. You still love your wubbanub
pacifiers! You only use them in your crib
now, but you have 3 or 4 in there at any given time and love to cuddle with
them even if you aren’t sucking.
Activities:
You are definitely active!
You are always going & getting into everything whether it is
climbing onto anything you can or trying to escape through the gate to get to the
stairs. You are still crawling,
cruising, clapping, and waving. You are
in a little bit of an odd stage since you are not walking but want to do everything
a walker can do! It’s so hard to let you
crawl around the yard (also because you try to eat everything), deck, and
sidewalk because I’m scared you’re going to scratch up your knees so much! You love to go into Jack’s room and empty out
the books on his bookshelf onto the floor & play with pretty much any of
his toys, too!
Food:
You are my little eater!
You eat anything and everything we put in front of you. I have noticed you are started to get bored
with certain foods like turkey so I am trying to change it up as much as
possible & give you more foods with flavors & seasonings. You have still been nursing before sleeping
but we should be completely weaning you soon. Your favorites are definitely
blueberries & yogurt melts & cheese.
You get SO excited if you see those things so they definitely are given
to you at the end of the meal or you won’t eat anything else!
New things:
Your balance is improving & you are standing up more and
more. You still have to hold on to something
to stand up but are cruising around. You
had your first road trip to Texas and did great! You did get a little bit bored at times, but
nothing some food couldn’t help.
You are in a general a VERY loud child. You are constantly yelling when you need or
want something (which we often don’t know what you need). It is your way of communicating but it is
LOUD (which can be a problem in public at restaurants, on planes, & in the
store!). You are not necessarily crying.
You have become my trouble shopper. It’s pretty much impossible to take you
through Target without you standing up in the cart (even when you are strapped
in) so that had made it challenging to say the least! I enjoyed it while I could!
You also love copying things we do whether it is talking on
the phone, putting on socks, brushing your hair, or making certain sounds. You definitely take it all in and study what
is going on!
