TWELVE MONTHS

January 13, 2016

No comments
Guys, we did it. This year has been a whirlwind. We loved just as hard as we struggled. And now that we're all sort of sleeping a little more and bottles are almost something of the past, we're all kind of coming out of the first-year haze.

Twelve months....

Weighs 20 lbs 9 oz and wears 6-12 and 12 month clothing.
Takes a few bottles a day but we're mixing cow's milk with his usual formula.
Eats table food along with baby food and snacks.
Loves spaghetti, carrots and scrambled eggs. Hates organic yogurt so far.
Is a wild child.
Climbs onto the kitchen chair to reach the food set on the kitchen table.
Climbs onto the coffee table.
Basically climbs onto anything he can.
He's also good at climbing out of things. Strollers, shopping carts, the bathtub...
High-fives!
Still only says mama.
Is getting a tooth!
Plays hard all day.
Still naps. Usually twice a day.
Learning to wave goodbye.
Charms the heck out of everyone he meets.
Still has the best smile.
He's a complete mama's boy.
Not walking but he gets arounds quick.
He's growing so fast and I can just see how much he loves growing up.

My sweet boy...

This is probably the last of these monthly posts. Nico just does not like sitting still for pictures and I think capturing these past 12 (twelve, seriously!...) months this way was perfect. Each month when I'm writing the new post, I glance back at the old ones and I'm smitten with this little guy all over again. His smile! The way his hair grew! How he transformed from the tiniest babe to the dashing boy he is today!

I'll pop in every now and then with stats and fun little things he's doing and learning and saying but it'll be more casual.

For now, here's to our boy. Our dear sweet boy who has stolen all of our hearts. We love you!

Eleven months...

Learning the art of the high five.
Gives kisses.
Speed crawls.
Wears 6-12 months and looks handsome in everything.
Size 3 diaper.
Can't get enough of bathtime.
Kind of looks incredibly dashing with his hair parted to the side.
Learning to open and close his hands. He's fascinated by them.
Loves blocks and balls.
Also loves steering wheels. In shopping carts. On toys. In our cars.
Is the biggest flirt.
Takes a little too much enjoyment in dropping things over & over for mama to pick up.
Pretty obsessed with looking at family photographs on the walls.
We're still working on table foods. We recently tried corn and after him grabbing handful after handful maybe two pieces of corn were eaten!
Explores everywhere.
Sits still for almost nothing.
Still rocking that toothless grin.
And, he's loving on the babywearing again.

This little wild fella of ours is almost ONE!

Ten months...

Kind of went by like a flash!

Honestly, I don't have the usual list of stats. I missed writing the ten month post (not to mention the pictures are more 10 and 3/4 months...) so ten months blurred into yesterday. Yesterday marked 11 months! And whenever I get around to writing about the joy of 11 months, a list of stats will follow.

So, here's to 10 months. It was still a really, really good one!

Nine months...

Has me on my toes!
This boy crawls like he's on a mission. And, he pulls himself up, "walks" along the furniture and crawl up the stairs.
He's eating chunkier baby food and we're working on table foods (diced apples, puffs, peas...).  Honestly? I hate feeding him table food. It gives me anxiety and reminds me he isn't tiny anymore.
Learning to drink from a sippy cup.
Rarely sits still for a bottle.
Weighs around 18 lbs.
Size 3 diapers.
Still in 9-12 month clothing and rocking the skinny jeans.
Loves peek-a-boo.
Going on walks is his favorite.
Puts everything in his mouth.
Tries to climbs out of shopping carts.
No teeth yet.
Says mama!
Has THE best smile.
And, he loves knocking over stacks of blocks.

My tiniest babe.

It's kind of a miracle that I'm even blogging this! I almost never fit anything in my day besides homework and taking care of the kids and also, HE NEVER STOPS GOING! I'm happily surprised I got some decent shots this month.

Eight months...

It's like he's not a baby anymore. I've got mixed feelings on the whole thing.
Mastered the army crawl. Working on the tummy off the floor crawl!
Likes to climb through the coffee table, on top of toys and all over mama.
No teeth but is chewing on everything in sight.
Likes solids but we haven't moved to actual table solids yet.
Still thinks his sister is the best thing since sliced bread.
Discovered the door stoppers around the house and loves the "springy" noise they make.
Stands up in his crib all the time.
Took his first bath with his sister!
Size 3 diapers.
9 month and 12 month clothing.
Rocks his Beatles tee and sometimes I can get him to stop & pay attention when I sing Hey Jude.
Slacking on the babywearing which makes me super sad.
Trying to befriend the dog.
Curious about everything.
And, I didn't realize how much his hair has grown until I looked back at past posts!

He melts my heart, this one.

Seven months...

Has me like whoa. He's less of a baby and more of a mobile, squawking babe.
Is all about the ring sling.
He plays shy and buries his head into whoever is holding him. It kills me. It's THAT cute.
Is the happiest babe around.
LOVES solids.
Size 3 diapers. Mostly 6-9 and 6-12 month clothing.
Still a pretty good sleeper.
Always sleeps on his stomach or side now.
Hey Jude remains our magic tool.
Mastered sitting up... mostly.
Is so close to crawling. He gets up and rocks back and forth but it always ends up in him falling down or over.
Gets to have a little taste of being an only child since big sister started Kindergarten.
Finally, FINALLY loves bath time.
Looking more like a little man every day.

He's a babe.

Six months...

Pretty much spends all day smiling.
Loves when his sister reads stories to him in the morning.
Wears 3-6 months and a few 6-12 things.
Size 2 diaper.
Becoming more of a fan of eating every day. He's a fan of all the orange foods (peaches, squash, sweet potatoes).
Is so close to sitting up on his own.
Wants to move, move, move all the time.
Has chunky thighs that I love, love, LOVE.
Naps good, eats good, lives good.
Finally clearing up the cradle cap.
Has a little excema that flairs up now and then.
Hammed it up in New York meeting all kinds of new people.
And, loved his first swing ride!
Rolls over and over and over.
Everything goes straight to his mouth these days.
Is outgrowing his sleepsack.
Mostly a side sleeper now.
And, I caught him sleeping on his stomach, curled up with his stuffed frog early this morning and it hit me so hard just how much he looked like a kid and not a baby.

This boy is almost 7 months old (because mama is behind, again) and growing like a weed. He changes daily and my heart loves him more and more each minute.

He's just the happiest and the best and I love him so much it hurts in the best way possible.
