12 months old!



It is so hard to believe that at one time, Sam was too little to fit newborn clothes.



Holy Sh**!  My kid is 1.  It's been a full year.  We survived.  It's been exhausting, frustrating, confusing, tearful, surprising...it's been freakin' awesome!

Sam with my parents' dog, Jollie, who is badly in need of a haircut. 

Height:  will update after Sam's well baby appointment

Weight:  will update later

Size:  Still 5 in diapers and 24 month/2T clothes.

Teeth:  3 1/2 on bottom and 4 on top

Sleeping:  Sleeping much better since our move to Baltimore.  He's only waking once at night and is generally a good sleeper.

Eating:  Not really eating anything different.  Maybe some watermelon occasionally.  Doesn't really like tablefood yet.

Movement:  Walking and now running a lot.  It's becoming dangerous in parking lots b/c he takes off and loves for you to chase him. 

Words and sounds:  Still babbling.  No actual words yet.

Milestones:  Running.  Can get out of his anywhere chair on his own.

Likes:  Bathtime, reading books, long car rides, his Auntie Drea, dogs, walking, water bottles, Elmo, carrying things in his mouth when walking around instead of using his hands.

Dislikes:  Waiting for a bottle, sleeping, sitting in the shopping cart (would rather walk), people who invade his personal space, table food.
