12 months!

You weigh 23 lbs. and you are 30 3/4 inches long.

You wear a size 4 diaper, 12-18 month clothes, and size 5 shoe.

You started drinking whole milk this month and you love it. I think you would rather have it than food.

You will hold your own bottle if I lay you on the floor with it. You have issues with tipping it up still.

You started drinking from a straw so you now have sippy cups with straws and you love them. They are a life saver whenever we are in the car. Mommy's arm was getting very tired of holding your drink for you.

We turned your carseat around in Daddy's car before we left for vacation and you thought you were in a different world. You couldn't get enough of the new sights.

You love taking showers. When we were on vacation they didn't have a tub so you got use to taking showers with Mommy or Daddy. Now if one of us goes to take a shower you will throw a fit until we put you in.

You love to play where's Jayden and while driving home from Vacation you were saying "Where's Jayden".

You now say bye bye and wave with both hands, you say tickle tickle, uh oh, and wow.

You were amazed by the fireworks on 4th of July. You clapped the whole time and kept saying wow.

Your favorite commercials are the huggies one with the little boy and the puppet and the blue jeans diapers one. You will stop what you are doing and run to watch it. When I rock you to sleep at nap time if one of those commercials comes on you will wake up from a dead sleep and watch it and then go right back to sleep when it goes off. It is hillarious.

You love to swim at the clubhouse. The pool just opened a couple weeks ago and we have already spent several days there.

You had your first professional haircut right before we left for vacation. It turned out very cute, but it took your baby looks away :(

Your favorite foods this month are mac and cheese, chicken nuggets, strawberry nutrigran bars, pizza, and cheeseburgers.

Your had a sesame street birthday party and it turned out very cute. We had it at the clubhouse and it worked out perfectly. We will probably have all of your parties there.

You didn't care for your birthday cake until we gave you a fork.

You got tons of toys and Mommy and Daddy are still working on where to put most of them.

You got your first kiss from Teagan at your party (she is 4 months older) and her daddy grounded her until she is 30.

You (I mean Daddy) had to open all of your new toys when we got home and you two played for hours.

We love you little man. Happy 1st Birthday!!!
