Well, the day has come and gone and I now have a 1 year old! I can’t even believe it..it’s been a whole year since we welcomed this little bundle of joy into our lives! And ever since, he’s proven to me that he is nothing like his brother. He tests me more as a baby than Braxton ever did. Haha! But I’ve definitely enjoyed being able to watch him grow and learn within this last year! Nolan doesn’t like to sit still for very long at all. He is also the baby we never really had. 🙂
Age: 12 months on March 11, 2016
Weight: 20 lbs
Height: 31 inches long
Teeth: 5.5
Clothing size: 12 months
Diaper size: size 3
Milestones: Nolan is starting to take itty bitty baby steps as he tries to figure out the whole balance thing. 🙂 He still says “mama”, “dada”, and “baba”. He loves to wave buh-bye and heyyy! He will still blow kisses and will sometimes give kisses. He also claps his hands when we say “yay” or “patty cake”. 🙂 But he loves to clap them whenever.
Likes: he is still a big mommy’s boy, he loves to play with Braxton and Tucker (or feed Tucker), and play with Daphne. He still loves food but has started hitting, throwing things, and biting. Lord, help me! He is still very oral- chew toys are his favorite and everything still goes in his mouth!
Dislikes: He still really isn’t a huge fan of long car rides (8+ hours), being walked away from, being told “no”, not being right by his mommy, and getting dressed/changed. It’s seriously like wrestling a monkey or something! It’s awful.
Sleeping: Nolan still isn’t the greatest sleeper. I consider myself lucky if he sleeps for 2-3 hours at a time at night and even takes a decent nap. He’s definitely not a sleeper like Braxton was even though, it makes for a very crabby baby!
Eating: Nolan LOVES to eat! I’m still not sure what his favorite food would be because he will pretty much just eat anything we put in front of him.
Best Moments: This month, it was fun to see him start to attempt to walk. We enjoyed celebrating the boys’ birthday’s, which is always a fun time. Nolan LOVED his cake, to say the least! 🙂 (not a big shock there, though;P). As much as it tends to give me a heart attack, it’s fun to watch him play and climb on Braxton’s recliner, which I’m pretty sure we’re going to have to get Nolan his own!
Mommy Update: Mommy is hanging in there, to say the least. It’s harder than I imagined to juggle 2 kids but somehow, I’m managing! I love being able to go visit my mom so she can help a bit and loved having Grandma Jo and Aunt Ryan here to help watch/play with the boys for their birthday party!
