12 months!!!

We went to the doctor this morning and got Reid's official 12 month stats!  It was a long appointment and Reid had enough by the end!  

Length: 30 3/4 inches (83%)

Weight: 23 lbs 5 oz (79%)

Head Circumference: 19 inches (95%)

Mumsie came with us, which was a big help!  

Waiting, waiting, waiting! :)

Reid wasn't really cooperating for pictures yesterday, so I took a few with his cars as well! :)

Reid at 12 months...

*He is a great eater!  He has transitioned easily to whole milk and loves it almost as much as he loves his water!
*He is wearing size 4 diapers during the day and size 5 diapers at night.  His clothes are mostly 18 mo - 24 mo.  

*He is a great sleeper!  He goes to bed around 8:30 or 9:00 and wakes up somewhere between 7:30 and 8:30.  He is still taking two naps a day.  I am thinking we are moving towards one nap.  

*He is getting more confident in his walking and is getting stronger by the day!  It's really fun to see his smile when he takes steps alone.  

*He loves to lay his head down on things and wait for us to say, "Awwwww!"  He does it in his high chair and comes up with food stuck to his face! :) 

*He loves animals (real and pretend).  He is still pretty much obsessed with Chloie and Annabelle.  He likes to hug his stuffed animals, specifically his battery powered, little, stuffed bunny.  He always has 2 of his magnetic puzzle piece animals in his hands at all times.

*His favorite restaurant is El Jarito and gets excited when we go on Friday nights. :) I think it's safe to say we've trained him to love Mexican food.  

*He is starting to have a little bit of separation anxiety and is in a really cuddly phase.  I love it! :)
*He gets shy when I come in to get him from a nap.  He dives into the corner of his bed and smiles shyly.  It's so funny!
*He really doesn't like getting in his car seat.  He cries every time he gets in it, but is usually fine once we get going. :/
*He isn't saying any words, but we feel like he's understanding so much more every day!! He understands Mommy, Daddy, Chloie, Annabelle, book, cheerios, water, dog, chew, bath, deer, and probably more that we don't realize.
*About a week after he turned 12 months he started clapping! :) 

Here's Reid's 1 month pictures!  It's amazing how much they change!  

ONE is already so much FUN! :)
We love you to the moon and back, sweet boy!! You fill our lives with JOY!
