ONE Year!

Jack,

Wow...to think that a year ago you made your grand entry into this world, and I like to say you shot out ready to take the world in your hands. I cannot imagine life without you.

At 12 months, you wear all 12 month clothes with occasional 9 month pants. You are well on your way, though, to 18 month shirts as 12 months are getting too short. You are down to one night bottle and will soon give that up when your formula runs out. You have made the transition really easy for us. We really enjoy not having to sterilize on a nightly basis anymore! You drink a sippy cup of milk right when you wake up and continuously drink milk/water throughout the day. As far as eating, you will eat any place, any time! You really love green beans, peas, and cutie oranges. You also love goldfish! You know exactly where I keep them and usually point to them when you get close. You are eating very little baby food anymore - you turn your nose up at it often.

You go to bed around 8:30 and usually wake up between 6:00-6:45. You take two naps a day with your morning nap being the longest (around 1.5 hours). During the day, you love to play but play the best at night when both mommy and daddy are around. You still love going outside and bubbles rank high as a favorite thing to do. You are beginning to push cars and trucks around with the "rrrr" sound, and it is absolutely precious. You love going into your room and pulling all the books off your shelf. Then, you usually find one to bring to me to sit and read. You absolutely HATE going to daycare at the gym.

One of my least favorite things is that you are a true fit thrower any time you don't get your way. You hate getting your diaper or clothes changed, too. We are learning to let you throw those fits, though, without giving in. It is not an easy process.
 
You are an incredibly mobile kid so taking your picture has become quite the task. I don't get nearly as many good ones these days! You love being free and walking/running wherever your little legs take you which often is down our long hallway into places your aren't supposed to be. When you hear my coming to get you, you either take off faster or turn and giggle.
 
I absolutely adore being your mommy. You make each day an adventure and your laughter never gets old. God is going to do great things with you Jack, and Daddy and I will be right along side of you cheering you on and being your biggest fans.
 
I loved you yesterday, I love you today, and I will love you tomorrow,
Mommy
