Little Fish Turns One!!!

-
From then...
to now... 
This is the 12th post I've created detailing the happenings of our little fish...12 months of sharing our home, our hearts, everything we have with this tiny miracle.  12 months have come and gone in the blink of eye...12 months of tears, laughter, sleepless nights, countless snuggles, and unconditional love.  These past 12 months have been indescribable.

Birth Stats         12 Month Stats
6lbs. 5.9oz           20 lbs. 7oz.
19 inches long     30  3/4th inches long

This lucky little boy got to celebrate his birthday on 3 different occasions, but the birthday celebrations deserve a blog of their own...so that will come shortly!  In the meantime, here is what our 1 year old has been up to;

Dancing (Baby boy LOVES dancing/music!)
Walking
Playing (This kid will push a truck, shoe, or onesie all over the house and back, while making truck noises)
Growing his bottom 2 teeth
Growing his top 2 teeth
Cutting Molars
Pointing out objects "monkey" and "trucks" are his favorites
Responding to questions by shaking his head (usually "No")
Making funny faces

Little guy is BUSY!  I capitalize that word because it sums up our kiddo.  From the second he wakes up, he crawls off to the nearest toy, sometimes before he even has his eyes open.  Now that he is a walker, he will walk from room to room, stumbling like he's been hitting the bottle, and I'm not talking about the milk bottle!
Paisley still nurses twice a day.  It's the last thing he does before falling asleep and he nurses again once at night, usually around 4am.  Yes, you read that right, baby boy STILL gets up once a night.  While it's not ideal, I really don't mind getting up once a night.  He's not going to need me forever so I'm going to enjoy this time. 

He is an awesome eater!!!  He will eat anything and everything that is put in front of him.  He will actually shove a fistful of food in his mouth if his dad or I don't stop him.  He loves drinking milk and ice water out of a sippy cup.  He always wants to try what his Daddy and I are drinking.  We have let him sip some chocolate milk and lemonade.  Naturally he liked both. 
I don't have time to sit! I need to PLAY!!
Paisley has also become quite the little jabberwalkie!  He is constantly walking around saying "Dada" and "Momma."  He also throws in a Ba Ba Ba occasionally.  And when he wants something, that boy will point at it and wants it immediately!

We are still wearing cloth diapers as we haven't mastered peeing on the potty 100% of the time yet.  And finally he has signed to go potty when he had to do a #2 and we were in the car!   So progress is being made.  Have I mentioned that I LOVE not changing poopy diapers. 

I've packed up most of the infant toys at this point, his King Nepetune's underwater adventure play mat, the rain forest jumperoo, and some of his rattles have been lovingly packed away in bins.  I had to make room for his birthday gifts!  He's currently wearing 12-18 month clothes and size 4 shoes.  It just blows my mind how much this little guy has grown and changed in the past 12 months!

He gets cuter and funnier with each passing day.  Even thought he's now my big 1 year old, he's still "just my baby."  And I love that baby more than anything..
Here's looking at you kid...

All about the Little Boy

Sometimes I forget this tiny boy isn't even 2 years old.  He shows more love and empathy towards people than those 10x his age.  He'll give a smile and wave to anyone who'll make eye contact with him.  He has a tender spot for the elderly and people in wheelchairs.  At the same time, this is the boy that asked to be put in his baby sisters crib, then peed on her sheets.  He's a tiny little pistol, full of mischief and curiosity, and 100% boy. As we near his 2nd birthday, I can't believe he's been around as long as he has.  I still stare at him in amazement and can't believe he is my baby.  Every day he is spouting new words and bringing up something we did days ago.  His memory is sharp as a tack and if he's heard you say something one time, you better believe that word or phrase is now a part of his vocabulary. He has handled moving to the farm like a pro.  He's always liked coming out here and seeing the barn, tractor, and riding the ...

Marry Me Today and Every Day

Music has the amazing ability to stir up an old memory, put goose bumps on your arms, or maybe even bring a tear to your eye. Recently while driving home from work, I had that very thing happen. I had never heard the song before, but it basically summed up the story of a guy and girl that met in a café. Sounds like the story of a guy named Scott and a girl named Kara to me. Here’s the song; Forever can never be long enough for me Feel like I've had long enough with you Forget the world now we won't let them see But there's one thing left to do Now that the weight has lifted Love has surely shifted my way Marry Me Today and every day Marry Me If I ever get the nerve to say Hello in this cafe Say you will Say you will Together can never be close enough for me Feel like I am close enough to you You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love And you're beautiful Now that the wait is over And love and has finally shown her my ...

My Blue Eyed (little/big) Boy

Hello there little guy So there's this 32 lb. boy that wakes me up each morning.  Typically he goes to his daddy's side of the bed, but if he doesn't feel good or he's had an accident, he'll come to my side.  He typically says something like "The sun is up!" or "Is it time to get up?"  He likes everyone to be out of bed and the blinds to be opened.  This happens between 6:30-7 each morning. He appears with groggy blue eyes that despite showing sleepiness still hold a hint of mischievous.  His hair is a disheveled mess of light brown with a sprinkle of golden hairs that look like spun silk.  His dinosaur jammies are getting shorter on his long legs each day, showing just how quickly this little guy is growing. Snuggles This sweet little boy has eyes that are bigger then his stomach.  He likes to fill his bowl with cereal or oatmeal, but has a hard time eating everything he "thinks" he needs.  He has his picky days where no...
