One Year Old (One Week And One Day Late)

After our morning walk

I can not believe The Boy is already a year old! He is growing so quickly and time is flying by.

It seems like every day I am impressed by something new he does.

Walking- Nater has been walking on his own since the day he turned 11 months old. Now he can walk with his elbows by his side (instead of arms out for balance). He can run and walk backwards. He even has less of the baby waddle.

Eating- Johnathon feeds himself and eats a LOT. He often eats as much as I do. He is off of formula and does well with the milk. He drinks primarily from a cuppy, he can also drink from a straw and a regular cup with help. He likes meat and cheese and yogurt, but his favorite is cereal.

Playing- Nater plays well on his own and does well with the girls or the dog. He loves to play with his little people toys and anything that makes noise. Nater likes to "read". Although, he will hardly sit through a book being read to him, he will pick up books and "read" them to himself regularly.

The boy is so happy and playful. He loves to clap and play chase. He typically only gets upset if he is hungry and when he is upset he screams!

We are so happy to have him in our family. He brings so much love and joy to our family. We love having a boy.

Johnny, I hope you had a wonderful first birthday. We love you. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful part of our family!
