Beckett Allen, sadly I must admit that you really aren't a baby anymore. I cannot believe that you are turning 1 in a few short weeks. It's so cliche to say it doesn't seem possible but it truly doesn't seem possible and yet I can't remember life before you. Your personality is really starting to reveal itself and I'm thinking you may be our trouble making, rule breaking, fearless, wild child. You are a mess and you keep us on our toes at all times!! Even with your rebellious streak you are so sweet and love climbing into our laps, wrapping us up in a big hug with a shoulder pat included, and planting big slobbery, open mouth kisses on our lips!!
The facts:
You are currently tipping the scale at 24.12 lbs and 29. 1/2 inches. You are wearing mostly 12-18 month clothes but we have slipped you in a few 18-24 months and they aren't huge. Ha. You continue to wear size 4 daytime and night time diapers.
Your daily schedule starts with a wake up call at 6AM to nurse followed with breakfast with daddy. You get to school about 7:30AM and mommy or Dee Dee pick you up at 5PM. You have 2 snacks, lunch of purées, and 3 5oz bottles at school. We have dinner at 6:30PM and then you nurse at 8PM for bedtime. On the weekend all rules go out the window because you nurse on demand whenever you want. Ha. You like all fruit purées but will not eat vegetables and in general you prefer table food over purées.
You are sleeping in your crib, on your tummy, with 7-8 pacifiers(to make sure you can find one). You are consistently sleeping through the night but still wake up once or twice some nights but you are able to self soothe back to sleep.
You are becoming more vocal this month but purposeful words and sounds are still few and far between. You can say the following although you don't often: Yay, bye-bye, mama, dada, and bubba. You are the definition of a "motor baby," you crawl everywhere and you are FAST!! You are pulling to stand, pivoting between surfaces, walking with a push toy, and standing independently. You even started taking 1-2 steps away from support this month....you can slow down at any point because this is all happening too fast.
You are so sweet and you reach up from tall kneel when you want to be picked up. You give big bear hugs with a pat included and give the best open mouth kisses there ever was!!
As sweet as you are, you are just as equally WILD! You race to the open fridge, pantry, dishwasher, garage door...you love to empty the bottom bathroom drawer, the Tupperware, the pots and pans. You love to wrestle with your bubba or daddy and have started enjoying "chase." You can roll a ball and you can crawl pushing cars!
At this point you prefer table food over purées but your absolute favorite is ice cream!!
Things you like: throwing balls, giving open mouth kisses, emptying bathroom drawers
Things you dislike: diaper changes because you must be still and nose sucking
Big events: First New Year, Dallas
