Sir Branson - 12 Months!


12 Months - 23lbs  - 29.5 inches

Feeding - As noted by your sweet rolls you are an awesome eater!  You enjoy it and you like to do it often!  You have weaned down to just one breastfeed a day, right before bed.  You skipped bottles and went right to drinking your milk from a cup.  You like most foods, but you definitely enjoy meat and bread the most!  If your eating something that's not your favorite you will leave it till last - you always eat it you just like to eat your favorites first.

Sleeping -  Your nighttime sleeping has improved GREATLY!!!  I think we can, almost, say you are consistently getting 12 hours a night (although I hesitate to write this - I don't want to get too excited as I know how quickly this can change).  Your napping isn't great at the moment - your still taking two naps a day, but I think you are trying to tradition down to one nap a day. 

Milestones - This has been a big month for you.  You took your first steps - 14 in a row on your first go at it.  You sign "more," can clap, wave and high five.  You continue to babble away coming up with new sounds and ways to express yourself.  You are a climber.  You find the most challenging way to get somewhere and take that route.  You love climbing on Sully's stepstool, especially up onto his bed.  The only problem is you haven't figured out how to gracefully get off his bed.  You love music - especially if it has a good beat.  You are a good little dancer and as soon as you hear music you like to get your groove on!  You newest and possibly your cutest new trick is "smooching."  When we ask you for a smooch you lean forward, mouth wide open and come in for big, wet kiss!

Likes - eating, baths, your family, peek a boo, playing with your brother, chewing on things, reading
Dislikes - when toys get taken from you, being told "no"

Funtimes - Over the past month you celebrated your first Christmas and New Year's.  Saw all of your extended family on both sides and took another airplane ride.

12 months has come and gone - we are so thankful for our year with you.  You are so full of fun and excitement.  You have the cutest little laugh and your joy for life is contagious.  Happy Birthday sweet boy - we LOVE you SO MUCH - we know you will do great things!
