Wow. I have one year olds. How did this happen? Where has time gone? I think about this time last year often. I had brand new, two week old babies. The crib was in our room at the bottom of the bed and Angie and I were just really getting our nightly routine down. One baby would rustle awake and then the next. We both wake up, turn on our lights and get ready for our up every 2 hour night. I got hooked up to the breast pump, Angie handed me a baby to feed, and she fed the other. Change diapers and put back to bed. AND repeat. How is it this feels like yesterday and was already ONE YEAR AGO?!
Seth Harrison- My sweet sweet dragon. Yes, dragon. You have aquired this quirky nickname as you screech and yell like a little dragon. However, mostly these days your a referred to as Sethy Boo. You big brother calls you that. You are my sweet, kind, snuggly boy. Your dimples and toothless smile get me every time. That's right... toothless. You still only have two bottom teeth! The top four are so close to coming in, but just hasn't happened yet. Walking is so close as well. You stand alone and take 3-4 steps by yourself. You are tall and skinny and have big hands and feet. We think you will be taller than your big brother some day. Wearing size 3 diapers, 12 months pants and 12-18 month tops. You LOVE to eat. You are more of a picky eater than sister but we think it is because you still only have a few teeth so some foods are tough to eat. You have really starting "talking" these past few weeks. Lots of noise and sounds which make no sense, but completely adorable. You are also very good at imitating words you hear..my little parrot. You like to wave and get a lot of amusement out of spinning around in circles on your booty. Still are having 3 bottles a day with 6-9 oz of milk in them. We started adding in cows milk to the formula and you don't seem to mind it. You still sleep pretty good. Go to bed around 730-800 and wake up at 700. Take one hour morning nap and two hour afternoon nap.
Eleanor Reece- Eenie beanie, Ensie beansie, Reecie Piecie. My little princess. You have become quite the spit fire this past month. I guess you have to be tough and have some attitude with two brothers to put up with. You are one gorgeous girl. Your big green eyes are so beautiful and those lashes show them off. You have six teeth and when you smile you can only see your top two! You have been slower to want to stand and walk but seem to be catching back up to your brother. You can stand and take a few steps by yourself. You have gotten really good at pushing your walking toy and can get around the whole house holding onto it. You love to eat fruit. Watermelon is a current favorite. You are wearing size 3 diaper and 12-18 month pants and tops. You love to sleep and are a good sound sleeper. In bed 730-800 and up 730-800 ish. Take a 1-2 hour morning nap and a two hour afternoon nap. You still have 3 6-8oz bottles a day. You love to say "HI" and wave at your brothers every morning. I'm also almost certain when you say mama, you know who you are talking about. It melts my heart. You are definetly a mamas girl. You have had some "stranger danger" issues lately and only want mommy or I. I know you will grow out of it but I secretly love it.
Cameron Kai- You continue to surprise and amaze me every day. You are the best big brother ever and love your siblings. You make them laugh and smile daily. You have been holding their hands and helping them walk and getting them un-stuck when the run into corners with their walkers. Your brain is a spongue and I sometimes can't believe the things you remember or say. You still love going to school and talk constantly about Paulette, Keesha and your friends. You also apparently have a little girlfriend named Zoey. Slow down there kiddo. You learn a lot there and come home with great arts and crafts that you are so proud of. Here are some things you say and do that I don't want to forget about this age.
- The way you say Mud and Bug. Muuuuddddd . Buuuuuugg.
- How you add "s" on all foods. "Lets get popcorns and icecreams"
- "I pat weiner now" after going potty
- "SethybooEenie" when referring to both your brother and sister
- You can sing ABCs and count to 10
- You know every single name of the trains on Thomas the train
- " I love you so much mama". Love sounds like "luuh"
- Blowing drying my hair one day and you come in and say "Whats going on in here mama?"
- You know the names of all the kids in your class. ( Some the first and last names)
- When you were going poopy on potty you told me "Go on mama, get out of here. Go tuck mommy in"
- Your sensitive if mama or mommy get hurt and ask us if we got boo boo and are ok.
- You call the kitties Mot-c-core and Mo.
There are so many more things, but these are a few. I'm so proud to be your mama. You are growing up to be such a sweet, caring, funny little kid.
