12 Months

Wow!  I cannot believe James Darren is a year old.  It has been a wonderful year and we are so blessed to have such a precious little boy in our lives.  We look forward to many more years to come. 

James Darren at 12 months

Height 32 in

Weight 27lbs

-          He is still not walking but he is really close.  He loves to walk holding one of his push toys.  He also cruises around the room moving from one thing to the next. 

-          He is drinking primarily whole milk now.  He still has a little bit of formula at school but once this container is gone he will be on all milk.

-          He still has 1 bottle in the morning.  Mainly because I love to cuddle with him first thing but we are going to try and transition away from the bottle over the next month. 

-          We are also going to try and get rid of the Passy in the next few months.  I am not looking forward to that.  He doesn’t take it too much but he does take a Passy at night and at naptime. 

-          James Darren has started talking and singing a lot more.  Most of it is still unrecognizable but he can say “Momma” “Daddy” and “ball” very clearly

-          He still takes 2 naps a day and I don’t see him giving one up any time soon.

-          He can be a picky eater some days.  It all depends if it is an eating day or a not eating day.  Some days James Darren will eat anything you give him pizza, cheeseburger, French fries (I know very healthy), fruit, yogurt, coffee, macaroni & cheese, turkey, crackers, anything.  Then some days all he will eat is yogurt and eggs (those are our go to items).  Even if he ate the very same item the day before he may not touch it the next day.

-          He still LOVES bath time. 

-          He loves to play peek-a –boo and will initiate a game himself. 

-          Loves to be outside.  Most of the time if you sit him down outside he will just sit in one place and watch what everyone else is doing.  He also loves to look at the moon at night.  He will spot it and point to it all on his own. 

It has been a truly amazing first year!  We love this little boy more than he could ever know.
