We are celebrating ONE whole year with you in our lives - although it seems like you captured our hearts long before then, we are so grateful and wonderfully blessed to be sharing your FIRST BIRTHDAY! At Twelve Months, here are a few stats:
This is just a preliminary take - we'll post a different picture once we have a better shot!
- You weigh 20 lbs. and 12.5 oz. (25th percentile) and are 29.75" long (50th percentile)
- You wear a size 3 diaper and size 12 month clothing
- You are nursing once in the morning and once in the evening - although you will be finished very soon! ;)
- Mealtime is always a joy and you are a wonderful eater - your favorites are Spaghettios (especially the meatballs), green peas, pears, avocados, black beans, black eyed peas, soy yogurt, graham crackers and Nilla wafers. You seem to like the healthy stuff more than the unhealthy stuff - we couldn't get you to touch your birthday cake or a cupcake!
- Soy milk is your drink of choice at the moment because of a little reaction to cow's milk. We are just going to wait another month or two and try again. We believe that you will outgrow the reaction, but want to give you time to make sure.
- You eat three good meals a day and several snacks in between. You are always a happy camper if there are Nilla wafers around!
- Some of your favorite toys are Mom and Dad's phones, your Bear (Boo Bear), Koda Bear (from Grammy and Pops), anything with farm animals or a ball, your farm house, and most anything that keeps your attention for just a few minutes!
- You have taken a few steps here and there, but aren't quite ready to walk! We practice with you walking between us and you always celebrate your success by saying YEAH!!
- One of your other favorite activities is using FaceTime or Skype to talk to Daddy at work, Grammy and Pops, Valerie, Nancy, and your Nanna. You always love to give them kisses and say "Awwww" when you kiss them on the phone!
- You have six teeth (Four top and two bottom) and are working on a few more!
- You can wave hi and bye bye, clap your hands, play peek-a-boo, and sign "More" and "All Done"
- Some of your favorite words are Mama, Dada, Dog, Hi, Bye Bye, Uh-oh, and usually say "Dohbedohbedoh" although we haven't quite figured out what that means!
- Your little social personality just shines everywhere we go! You enjoy waving and talking to everyone around us and entertaining folks at the grocery store or anywhere else we might be.
Barrett, we couldn't love you more! We know that God has great plans for you pray every day that you will walk in all that He has for your life. Happy Birthday sweet boy!!
We love you so much,
Mommy and Daddy
