Twelve Months

I cannot believe that our Baby is ONE!

It really seems like just yesterday we were on our way to the hospital to have him. This has seriously been the best year for both Eric and I. We have loved being parents to Maddix and both can’t wait to see what he will do and learn each day.

This past month we have been busy once again. We went up to Idaho to celebrate Dhylan’s birthday, went to Lava Hot Springs for a family reunion, and have been able to play with daddy almost every day.

You have learned how to clap, climb up and down the stairs, and say momma all the time. You are getting 3 new teeth, all on the top. You have been a little fussy at night and I think this is why.

Some other things we did this month...

Got another haircut...you did so much better this time!

Played with your papa and Emily while they were here
Lounged
Picked some tomatoes with dad from our garden

Went to Hogle Zoo

Went to the pool with mommy

Maddix Loves:
Your silky. Seriously one of the best investments we’ve ever made! It is definitely your security blanket, you love to cuddle with it, sleep with it, and it totally soothes you when you are upset.
Binky. You are so funny with it, you love to try and “talk” around it. Someday I’m sure this won’t be my favorite thing of yours.
To eat. Most of the time you are a pretty good eater and will eat almost anything.

You still eat baby food, I won’t take this away from you until you decide you don’t want it anymore.

Playing with your toys. Love balls, books, anything that makes noise, and especially your basketball hoop.
To walk around in your walker. You love to have us take it outside so you can roam up and down the driveway and into the neighbors.
To be tickled. You have the most contagious laugh and mommy and daddy can’t help but tickle you over and over!
To go up and down the stairs. You could do this all day if we let you.
To watch movies in the car while we are driving. You need to have it on while we are driving and it makes you so happy.


Maddix Hates:
To have his face and bum cleaned. You throw a fit almost every single time.
Still isn’t the best sleeper. You are improving but there are definitely still those nights that we are up more than we are asleep.

When Mommy leaves the room. You think she's leaving forever if she ignores you for 10 seconds.

When we try to make you walk, you sometimes like it but most of the time you just want to sit back down.
