One

One year ago, baby boy, you arrived! We never could have known this kind of love until we met you. You are smiles and laughter and cuddles. You are mischief and persistence and joy. This last year of our lives has, without a doubt, been the best ever. We have watched you grow and can't wait to see what you are going to do next. At one year old:

• You weight 22 lbs and are 30 inches long, 50th percentile in both.
• You are a great eater. Some favorites are blueberries, mac n cheese, ravioli, bananas, and mandarin oranges.
• You are a climber! You are lightening-quick on the stairs and you can be found pushing your trailer to climb on tables and reach things you want.
• You are not walking yet but you are cruising everywhere. 
• You have favorite books you like to read. Some of your favorites are Brown Bear, Brown Bear, Goodnight Moon, and I Am a Bunny.
• You have cut down to only 1 bottle before bedtime. 
• You play pat-a-cake and The Wheels on the Bus.
• You have 6 teeth and definitely have some more on the way.
• You are pretty consistent with two good naps a day and 10-11 hours a night.
• You give awesome cuddles. When I get you out of bed, you curl up on my chest with your head on my shoulder. These are the best times.
