Daily: You are still quite the earlier riser, but are getting better at sleeping later and later. You just really like getting up around 5:45- 6:15. I can't blame you thought, because 9/10 you wake up its because we have to go to the babysitters or because you have a lot of poo in your diaper- that would wake me up to. You are still a pretty schedule kid and like your morning nap and your after noon nap. Some days you fight that morning nap, but we have been letting you stay up a littler later in the morning and putting you down around 9:30- 10 and you sleep a lot longer than when we used to put you down at 8 am r 830 am.
You love playing with and doing everything your big brother does and on most occasions you two play very well together. There have been those few times where you two are fighting over certain toys, especially blocks, and trains. You just want to be doing whatever Carter is doing, but Carter wants to sometimes play independently and you just are not having any of that.

Eating: You are still an amazing little eater. I never worry that you don't get enough because you almost always clear your plate. When we did go to the doctor they informed us that you were a little bit anemic, so we have started you on Iron Supplement to help with that. That surprises me because you eat a ton of meat and love milk, so hopefully the supplement will help!! You are a big snacker, and would eat/snack all day if we let you. Lately though you have been eating alot at breakfast, lunch and dinner that you don't snack as much! You still love fruit and will eat any piece of fruit we put in front of you- lately you are loving watermelon, cantelope, blueberries, fresh peaches, and of course bananas. You LOVE hotdogs, and animal cookies and I swear you could live off of them. You are drinking whole milk and are a big milk drinker, just like Carter. You get some juice every now and then if Carter has a cup and you get your little hands on it. But other than that we stick with milk and water and you seem content.
Bedtime: Is such an easy routine for you. We normally lay you down around 7:45-8:15 and cover you up, and you fall right asleep. It is amazing how much you love your room and your bed! Now if only you would sleep till 7:30 in the AM.
Sizes: You are still rocking 12-18 clothes, and right before your first birthday we took you to Lauries and you got your first pair of kicks- that make you look like such a big boy! You are walking great in them, but sometimes I think you just love being bare footed.
Milestones: You started walking right before your first birthday- you took your first steps outside by the pool at Maw-Maws house. It wasn't but a few days after that when you gave up crawling and just started walking. Now at almost 13 months you can almost run. It is alot of fun watching you!! Around 12.5 months you all the sudden starting climbing off the couch. It was crazy to see! I had t have you do it a few times to really believe you could do it. You even know that you need to slide off the couch and not lunge! You really look like a big kid when you do it! You have become a huge Frozen fan over the past few weeks. You sit there and will almost watch the whole movie. Much like your brother, yu walk around dancing and "singing" all the songs- its cute to watch, but man is that movie killing me- we have seen it like 200 times at least!
You still love watching your favorite shoes- Mickey Mouse, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Doc McStuffins, and of course Princess Sophia. You pretty much will watch anything and everything that has music in it. You have also started saying a few more words, including, "Yes, No, Car, dog, milk." You still love reading books, and dont really care which ones they are you just love being read to. You still have your favorites , I Love You as big as the world, and Where is Baby's belly Button.
You love driving your cars through the house and you and Carter race them from the kitchen to the living room. You pick them up and move them to the kitchen when you want "drive" them. You got a Little Tikes car for your birthday form your Aunt Ni-Ni and you love playing in it. You think it is hilarious when we drive you and Carter in the backyard! You like to help mow the grass with your brother, and Carter got you your first lawnmower for your birthday.
You are a sweet boy and still love to snuggle, especially first thing in the morning and right before bed. I think you are also going to be blanket kid, because you have two blankets that you love very much and always snuggle up with- uh- oh! And much like your bother, boy are you a mama's boy. You love your daddy, but anytime I am on the couch you want to be right near me. It warms my heart that you love me so much, but boy oh boy can it be frustrating at times. As sweet as you are, you can always be quite a monster. You are into everything and LAUGH hysterically when you get in "trouble." We have a feeling your going to be our trouble child.
This past year has been challenging, but truly the most rewarding. Watching you grow into the sweet little boy you are has been such an awesome experience, especially since this go around we had your big brother to watch you grow with. We love you little guy and know you are going to be great in this world and could not be more excited for the journey you have in store.
We love you buddy-
Mom and Dad
