1 Year Check Up

On March 17, we had Will's 1 year check up. My chunky monkey weighs 26 lbs and is almost 32" long. We have a big boy on our hands!

At 1 year, Will is:

Walking/Running

Says "mama", "dada"

Waves to everyone

Has 8 teeth (4 top, 4 bottom)

Finally sleeping through the night (thank the Lord!!!)

Is on whole milk (Saving some $$$ on formula!)

Loves water (bathtime, playing outside in the water, etc)

He loves to eat (cheerios, yogurt, waffles, goldfish, apples, bananas, pears, Gerber Graduate meals, pasta, chicken, taco meat, rice, and beans are a few of his favorites). There are very few things he will not eat.

He loves playing outside and going for walks with me. We can spend hours outside and he is so happy. He gets so mad when we bring him in!

I love this child more than anything. He makes us laugh each day. Austin and I are constantly amazed by how much he is learning and changing every day!

What a Mess!

My little man started walking in January, right around 10 months. He is now RUNNING everywhere and ridiculously hard to keep up with. He is so much fun right now though, his personality is really starting to show. He loves to dance, loves Jake and the Neverland Pirates (Disney), and LOVES when his daddy gets home each evening! In February, Will came down with Hand/Foot/Mouth disease (along with quite a few of his classmates). It was the worst week of our lives. Poor baby ran a high temp, was absolutely miserable, would not eat or drink for a few days. In this picture, you can see some of the spots on his face. All spots are now clear, thank goodness! Someone gave him this backpack at my baby shower. We put it on him the other night and he loved running around with it!

War Eagle!

Austin and I, along with several of our good friends, went to Phoenix for the National Championship game in January. We had a great time (minus the stomach bug that traveled through most of our party) and loved seeing Auburn win the National Championship!!!!!!!!!

Wow...

Has it seriously been almost 3 months since I updated? I am a terrible blogger. We have been crazy busy lately. My precious "toddler" is now 1 year old, walking/running everywhere, and is changing by the day. Since January, we have done so many things. Austin and I made the trip to Phoenix to watch the Auburn Tigers win the National Championship! War Eagle!!!! We spent February dealing with hand/foot/mouth disease (Will) and the flu (Me). During March we went to Turks and Caicos and a certain precious little boy turned 1!!!!!! Stay tuned for new posts!
