Our baby is 1!

How on earth is our baby, ok toddler, a year old already.  He is always on the go and is an incredibly happy boy.  He brings so much joy to our life!! 

Weight: He weighed in at 21 lbs 12.6 oz on his first birthday!  A very healthy weight, dr said 40th percentile!  He is 29 inches tall, which is the 25th percentile.  I think he got our short genes.  His head is 19 inches, which is the 90th percentile.  The guy has a big head!!

Clothes:  Size 4 diapers and 9-12 month clothes! 

Sleep: He sleeps from 9-11 1/2 hours without waking at night, then goes right back to sleep after eating.  He is really enjoying summer where I feed him, then put him back down, and then he wakes up whenever he wants - a few mornings he has even slept until 9:30.  He naps around 10:30 and 2:30 when he is home with me and each nap is from 1 1/2 -  2 hours.  At daycare he takes a short nap in the morning around 10, then a couple hour nap around 1:00.  He goes to bed between 7:30 and 8:00. 

Eating:  Diet of breastmilk, with lots of solids.  He loves veggies, he is getting back into fruit, isn't a huge fan of meat, loves beans, and loves cheese, avocado, and eggs!! 

Milestones:  Surprisingly there weren't anymore teeth this month, but the huge milestone this month was walking!!  He took his first steps on July 7, walked half way across the room on July 11, then was off without being stopped on July 12.  He loves walking and is so good at it.  He also said his 3rd word this month - uh oh!  He also has been mastering climbing in and out of chairs.  He is getting much better!  He can climb on and off his push car. 

Firsts:  First family reunion (you were a huge hit of course, you collected other people's name tags!), first fourth of July (we didn't do any fireworks), first time playing with bubbles, first birthday party of his own, first time swinging on your own swing set!

What we are looking forward to: more fun time with you!

What we are dreading: me going back to work next week - I have really enjoyed this summer and it has gone so fast!

Favorite moment this month - Seeing him working the room at his birthday party!

This month's miscellaneous - Ethan is so much fun to be around.  He loves people, he loves to walk, he loves being outside, and he loves being in the water.  He loves swimming in the pool in the backyard (especially at Momma Morai's), and he loves his baths!  This past year has gone so fast, and he has brought so much joy into our lives.  We love every second of being his parents and are incredibly blessed.  I can't wait for all the fun to come!

He loves watermelon!
