ONE YEAR

Our baby is a year!

19.13 lbs
31.75 inches (that's what the nurse said, we think he's a bit shorter)

It's become increasingly difficult to get him to lie on his back for these monthly sticker pictures.


But Hot Cup made it happen one last time.


I love love love him! He's so sweet and cute and smart. I love that he comes to me and rests his head on me and hugs me and talks and laughs and smiles with me. He's such a great little boy!

Here are a few more pictures from his 12th month.

He's sat on our laps and on the bench to play the piano a bunch. But the first time he decided to just reach up and play it on his own was while I was playing the piano in Relief Society. It took me by surprise. Haha.


My big sis came one day and my little guy had so much fun with her :) And he wanted to help with our project.


He loves his tunnels. Hot Cup set up the first one after we got his new car seat. The second one he discovered on his own.


He still loves looking out the back window; but knows that if he looks out the front he'll see cars and people and pets. Plus, that's where we watch daddy drive off every morning.


Hot Cup tried his kites in the field behind our house and our little guy enjoyed watching daddy play. We're hoping for more evenings with kite-flying wind. In the middle pic our baby is reaching for the kite :)


He loves going outside!



I shared a picture of him standing up at the couch last month. But this is too cute to keep to myself :)


When he started standing up and getting back down and walking along furniture he was very careful and cautious. He's much more comfortable with it now though!


And here's a few pictures from the day before his birthday -- Easter Sunday!
