We have a one year old!

I absolutely cannot believe that it has been a whole year since Grayson was born.  Time has flown, but in the best way!  We have enjoyed every minute of our little baby...but he definitely is not a baby anymore!  We officially have a toddler.  Grayson is walking more than crawling now, and can definitely make it all the way across the house without falling.  He is saying "dada" and "mama" but not necessarily in context.  Sometimes I think he is, but I'm really not sure.  He's obsessed with Jason right now and FREAKS OUT if he leaves the room.  He is eating just about anything now, and has officially tried a donut (on the morning of his birthday) a cupcake, cake, ice cream...and will have many more now that he's a big boy. :)  I am completely obsessed with this child and love every minute of being his mommy!!

We celebrated Grayson's birthday up in Kansas City with our families and close friends.  I know we won't be able to do this every year, but it was a great way to celebrate his first!  He had a Mickey Mouse themed party, and I was pretty happy with the way it turned out.  Kudos to Pinterest!

Grayson's 12 month stats:

-Sleeping:  Bed around 7 wake around 6.  All the sudden he's been waking up at like 4...not cool little man.  I usually let him cry a few minutes and he goes back to sleep.  When he wakes at 6ish he's STARVING and attacks his bottle, so that'll be interesting now that he's going to have to stop the bottle :)  Naps: 2.  One around 9:30-10 and another around 2:30-3.  Not sure how we're going to drop the early nap, he needs it bad since he wakes up so early.

Eating: 3-4 bottles a day still....I've started putting one of his feedings as whole milk, which he takes just fine.  We have our doctor appointment tomorrow to find out the best way to wean him.  He has breakfast, lunch, and dinner...eating just about anything, but very picky.  Hates meat except hot dogs or chicken nuggets...go figure.

Clothes: 12-24 month depending on the brand.

Milestones: Walking!  Crawling and climbing on everything!  Took his first trip out of the country (post to come on that vacay).  Started screaming when he wants something, so that's fun.


Loves: Kindermusik, the dogs, Jason, his little doggie blankie (we just recently bought 2 more in case we lose this one...he's very attached), his ball pit, tunnel, popper, Riley's dog cage (goes in and out in and out)

Height and Weight: Not sure, appointment tomorrow

Didn't really smash...kinda just was tasting the icing.  The night before (on his actual birthday) I gave him a cupcake and he tore into it!  Of course not for the party haha

We had such a great birthday for him, and lots of memories (for us at least).  Special thanks to my parents for all the help with the party!
