I honestly don't even want to write this right now because I don't want to believe that TODAY HE IS ONE YEARS OLD. One entire YEAR. Who said he could already be 1? Thats only 17 away from 18 years old. Someone press pause.
Accomplishments:
Crew is crawling and loving it! He doesn't seem to need to walk yet which is totally fine with me. He has just two teeth still hahah but he's starting to drool a lot more so I'm guessing that he is growing some more in there. He is saying words: dad da da, hi dad, mom, momma, duck, book, dang it, and other random things we ask him to say. It's adorable.
He loves:
The bath! He loves books and holding them all by himself. He loves loves loves his dad. He gets SO excited when he comes home from work, its the best. He loves his cousin Aubrey, my mom, and his auntie Chelsi. He loves eating food. He has recently started throwing it which is a lot of fun. He loves his toys that make noise and sing. He dances to them or taps his leg to the music. He loves animals: he chases my mom's cat Winston every chance he gets. He also played with Trevor's brother's dog and loved it so much. He loves his stuffed animals too, he gives them each kisses on their noses. When he kisses them he goes "mmmmmmmm aa!" He also loves to open his mouth SUPER wide when he's smiling haha when you think it can't go wider, it does! It's hilarious. He also LOVES to climb all the way up the stairs. He thinks its hilarious when I don't notice him going up and then see him and go try and catch him.
He doesn't love:
The fact that I'm weaning him off the pacifier. He doesn't love drinking water at all. I have a really hard time getting him to drink anything! So we are pretty reliant on purees and nursing for liquids. He doesn't love when people scare him or loud noises. He is still pretty sensitive, but doesn't cry when he gets upset, he makes this super not nice face. He furrows his eyebrows like I've never seen before. He does it to me a lot and it makes me sad! But it's really cute when he does it to other people haha.
Food wise:
He has big people food and lots of purees still. I only nurse him in the morning and at night. I am ready to wean him off nursing because I need to get some surgery done soon BUT he doesn't drink any water! SO I feel like I have to keep nursing him until he drinks from a cup.
Sleep wise:
He still takes two good two hour long naps. It's beautiful. At night, he is still waking up. Before yesterday, I was going in once or twice a night to give him his binkie that he threw out of the crib but as of yesterday, I'm done with that. We stopped the giving him a binkie and he's actually not doing too bad. Hopefully not having a binkie will help him learn to sleep through the night soon!
He is so much fun. Seeing his personality come out is the best. I love that part of him getting older; I get to know him even more. I do miss a newborn, of course, but I can have more of those!
