Twelve Months

Happy First Birthday, Emory!!!

 

I know I say it every month but I seriously can't believe a whole year has come and gone. To say this was the best year of our lives would be an understatement! You have brought unbelievable joy to our family since day 1 and we can't imagine life without you!

 

For your birthday, I took off work after lunch and brought you and your friends snack at school and then took you home early. We went to eat Mexican later that night with some of our coaching friends! We sang happy birthday to you and gave you your very first cupcake--you thought it was the greatest thing ever!

 

Stats:

Weight: 24lbs, 8oz (95th %)

Height: 30.75 inches (96th %)

 

Eating: We recently switched you to all daycare food in preparation for your new class. This means we don't provide any food for you, you eat what the "big kids" eat + your formula. I was super nervous you would refuse to eat it but you did SO well! They said you eat absolutely everything! Go Emory!!! You do really well with your sippy cup but you're not too fond of drinking milk out of it. Our next mission is all whole milk and no bottle, stay tuned!

 

Sleeping: You're still a rock star sleeper! Still sleeping 12+ hours at night and taking 2 (1-2 hour) naps at home.

 

Sizes: Size 3 diapers, all 12 month clothing but you could totally wear most 18 month too!

 

What's New:

-You're still not a full time walker although I don't think it will be long!

-Your 3rd tooth just broke through!

-You can say: Dada, Baba, Dog (Pronounced Doog), Mama, & Bye-Bye

-You blow kisses like a champ :)

-You still LOVE bath time and cry when it's time to get out

 

Emory, we thank God everyday for you! You're such a blessing and the light of our lives!

 

Happy First Birthday my little love. We love you more than you'll ever know and we can't wait to see what this next year brings!

 

Love, Mama and Daddy
