November was a VERY busy month for our family {We welcomed our little girl into the world on November 1st} So I haven't had a lot of time to blog. I wanted to catch up on the blog though and finally am getting around to it. Here are the biggest update that you had during the month of October-November and into your first birthday :)
OCTOBER UPDATES
- You loveeee dancing these days! You throw your hands up and shake your hips every time you hear any form of music come on (commercials on TV, music in elevators and especially when we watch Dancing With the Stars. You are the cutest little dancing bug!
- You got to try cake for the FIRST time this month! During your one-year-old cake smashing photo session you got to smash and EAT a cake however you pleased.. I was unsure if you'd like the cake at all or if you'd just sit there and look at it, but WOW - you destroyed that whole cake in about 11 minutes FLAT. It was so much fun watching you and now we all know your a huge cake fan like your mommy ;)
- You "snack" on your own these days. We give you your special bowl for snacks (that make it so you can eat your snacks by yourself without spilling them out - awesome!) and you LOVE it. You get all excited when we give you your snacks and you just run off and sit down somewhere and eat them. It's super cute seeing you eating on your own like a big boy. Next up: EATING on your own (right now you just want to shovel everything in at once)
- Speaking of snacks: you're on all the toddler graduate snacks and we both get a lot of fun out of buying new snacks to try. I think it's fun to have so many options for you to try and you of course enjoy anything that you get to eat (lol) You love the puffs, the cookies, the animal crackers, the yogurt melts (which daddy sneaks some of too) and we just got you on Cheerios! It's fun trying new snacks out and now we're finding snacks that we all can eat so we can slowly move you onto table food!
- You have a HUGE personality. Everyone comments on it and loves it so much. You are the funniest & HAPPIEST little boy I've ever seen. You are constantly laughing at everything and doing things to make people laugh and you ALWAYS ALWAYS have the biggest SMILE from ear to ear. It MELTS my heart... and just about everyone else that comes in contact with you<3
- You are a full on WALKING toddler now! You barely ever crawl and you are always trying to get down in stores and restaurants now so you can walk around on your own. It's the most amazing things seeing you horizontal and walking ALL the time now. It's still so weird seeing a little boy your size (you're pretty tiny my love) just walking around the house like a big boy!
- You can stand on your own now and hold your balance. You used to have to pull yourself up but not you can fall down, stand back up by YOURSELF and hold your balance if you feel like you're going to fall down. You got it down now like a champ!
- You finally can fit into your shoes! You are currently wearing your size 3 chuck taylor shoes I bought you a few months back. I bought you a pretty awesome pair of shoes in every size from 3-6 so you'll have a fun pair of shoes for every size as you grow. This month you're in your all black chuck taylor hightops and they are awesome. You get lots of compliments when people see you in them. Such a cool guy.
- You're on Toddler MEALS now also! You aren't just snacking like a big boy, you're eating like one too! You eat the Graduates Mac & Cheese - NOT IN A JAR! It's in a little container you microwave and it's real pastas & cheese! You also like the Gerber Spaghettios and raviolis. Next month we will be introducing you to table food so this has been a way to transition you off baby foods all together.. SO CRAZY to think of a day where there are no bottles or jars!
- You eat a TON! Which, I don't blame you with all these new yummy foods you've been introduced too! You usually eat a whole jar of level 3 food plus a snack for each meal! Then you get a 4-6 ounce bottle with naps and bed time and for dinner you usually eat almost 2 jars of food and another snack. Not to mention the 3-4 snacks a day you get. You must be going through a growth spurt right now because you are eating and sleeping like a champ!
- You have a TON of hair now! Once it started growing, boy did it all come in fast! Its past your neck and onto your shoulders now. It's a really pretty dirty blonde color and has a lot of waves in it! Your daddy and I have been discussing your first haircut... but we're thinking we'll wait awhile. It's so adorable now that it's so long and you've got this whole "surfer guy" look with the waves and blonde locks. It's too cute to cut, at least for now we'll let it grow some more :)
- Oh yes, you have been introduced to sippy cups too and you LOVE them! You get your juice and water in them and I think you mostly just like that you can snack and drink on your own with your bowl and sippy cup. You leave them by your toys and just run over and drink and snack as you please and you do so well with them both! Sometimes you get a little too friendly and give all your snacks to grizzly but luckily you haven't tried to share your drinks (lol)
Well buddy, there it is. Your 12 month of updates. Luckily I keep all these in my phone every month for when I can't update them on time, I always have them for when I can update them later.
