WE HAVE A 1 YEAR OLD! AND HE IS ADORABLE 🙂
even 1 year olds know presents are exciting
yea – it’s my birthday
He had lots of help opening presents
We had a pretty chill day on his birthday. We sang to him a lot and made him a basketball cake. (I have to do sports cakes when they are little because they never seem to choose sports once they have an opinion.) I took the kids shopping that morning to pick a few presents – that’s not typically our style but it was fun. When Ben got home from work we opened presents and ate cake and ice cream.
Aunt Tracie MADE this angry bird shirt! the whole thing – not just the cool bird!
excited for his cake!
Ray loved the cake. I think this was his 2nd piece. Yeah!!!
1 year old info: Raymond is a great sleeper. He sleeps 12+ hours at night and he takes 2 naps during the day. He doesn’t need to be put to sleep. I still wrap him tight and put him in his bed and he goes right to sleep. He does suck his thumb which is nice and convenient right now – hopefully it won’t be too hard to stop. He is a Perfect 5th child in that department. He is a happy baby. He often has a big smile on his face and loves to play. He will just follow the kids around, even disappear in the toy room for an hour. He is our most active baby. He gets into the tupperware and cups daily. He goes for the fridge or dishwasher whenever they are open. We had to lock the sink/garbage cupboard to keep him out. Raymond is a big eater. He likes his bottle but he is not satisfied until he’s had something to chew on or sink his teeth into. He loves bread and bananas. He eats whatever we are eating. I switched him from formula to whole milk and he is doing great. Ray Ray is really good at going up and down stairs. He isn’t interested in walking yet. He can stand up if he doesn’t realize he’s doing it but he’ll sit right down once he realizes it. He can pull himself up and walk holding on but mostly just crawls. Ray Tom is also our most scheduled child. I can count on him being hungry when he wakes up and I can count on a morning nap and an afternoon nap and he goes to bed at 8:00 with the kids and he sleeps all night. Really the perfect 5th child. He likes singing and dancing and playing catch. We love him so much.
