R's 1st Birthday!

My little baby just turned a year old earlier this week. It is amazing how fast a year can go! Everyone always says it, but it really is true. He gets more fun by the day. Also more daring and into more things he shouldn't be getting into! We had his one year check up this week and he is 29 3/4" and 21 lb 12.5 oz. which is quite an increase from his size at birth-19" and 6 lb 9 oz! 

At a year old, R has 2 teeth on top and 2 on bottom. All 4 teeth came through within the last month, but he handled teething like a big boy with only a few short periods of crankiness/tears. He can say "dada" and "mama" although he will only say mama when he is mad and really wants me! It's nice to know he says it when he means it though. He is a very fast crawler and can pull to stand up. He will cruise along on furniture or with the help of his walker toys but isn't brave enough to walk on his own yet (I'm okay with that!).

To celebrate his birthday we held a party at a local restaurant. We went with a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme and everything came together great. Thankfully there was no snow (a concern in December!) and the little one was healthy! The restaurant was great and everyone had fun.

It's amazing that a whole year has gone by. I can't wait to see what the next year brings!
