Wow!! I can not believe you are actually ONE YEAR OLD!! This year has honestly been the hardest, best and most rewarding year of my life and its all because of you sweet boy! The fact that you are no longer a baby just kills me! You have grown by leaps and bounds these past few months and look more and more like a toddler everyday!
We had our 1 year check up at the doctor on (8-15-2012) and here are your stats:
Weight: 25 lbs 8 1/2 oz (85%)
Length: 30 7/8 inches (75%)
Head Circumference: 19 1/2 inches (>95%)

You have 6 teeth (4 up top and 2 on bottom) and hopefully a few more bottom ones on the way. You go through phases with bottles and food. Some days you like your bottle and some days you want nothing to do with it. It normally goes in phases of a week. You also are very opinionated about your food. Some days you love eating and others you will only eat a few bites at each meal. When you do decide to eat, some of your favorites include: Ravioli, cheese toast, strawberries, melon, cantaloupe, yogurt, puffs, hotdogs, chicken deli meat, mack and cheese, chick chick and Gobble Gobble (The last two are Happy baby foods).
You have been working on drinking water out of your sippy cup and prefer the cups with straws. You honestly love a real to go cup with a straw because its so easy to drink out of. You still get three 8 oz bottles a day (8am, 2pm, 8pm) to make sure you are getting enough food. I know I am supposed to work on getting rid of the bottles at 12 months, but I am not sure if you or I am ready for that yet. I think our first step will be getting you to take your midday milk out of a sippy cup instead of a bottle. Currently, we are mixing your formula with whole milk to try and transition you to straight whole milk.
You love to play and are starting to pay a lot more attention to your toys. You love all your little people toys as well as your music play table. You stand at it forever pushing all the buttons. For an early birthday present, you got a riding pirate ship and it is your Favorite! You also LOVE being with other kids. You are in absolute heaven whenever we are with your cousins or your little buddy Will. Its so sweet watching you interact with other kids and watching your big cousins love on you. You love to stare at everything Hudson, Brody and Vivi do and love when they teach you new things.
You are in size 12-18 month & 18-24 month clothes. Your tops are usually larger than your bottoms. You are also still in size 4 diapers and probably will be for a bit longer.
You are cruising around the table and couches like a wild man. You aren't walking on your own yet but love to walk everywhere with your walker so I bet it wont be too much longer. You are still a little nervous to stand up with out holding on to something so once you realize you are standing with out support, you get nervous and sit down.
You still are only really saying DaDa and Doggies no matter how hard I try and get you to say Mama or anything else for that matter. You are quite stubborn and have shown me that you will do things on your time. I also try and get you to wave bye bye and you will NEVER do it on command. I catch you doing it randomly to the dogs but never to anyone who counts ha!
You love bath time and could probably play in there all day. We are working on staying seated and not standing up in the bath.
In July we went down to Atlanta to celebrate your Papa's 60th birthday. He loved having you there and enjoyed eating breakfast with you every morning. You also had your first taste of scrambled eggs made especially by Papa for you!
You have developed quite the little personality and love being around people. You favorite game is "tickle monster" and "chase" and you always keep coming back for more. You are such a wonderful kid and we are so blessed and thankful for everything that you have added to our lives. We love you so much Lukeypoo and are so happy that you are ours!
xoxo!
Mommy
