Dax is one!

My little baby is ONE! I can't believe a year has gone by already. These were taken on his Birthday, November 1st. I'll post the party later.

It's hard to believe that just a year ago, he was this. Sleeping all the time and not moving. Now I've got my hands full!

At one, here are some of the things Dax is doing.

*He has 2 bottom teeth and are working on his 2 top teeth

*Dances to anything with a good beat (Veggie Tales, I Like to Move it Move it, and Baby I Like It - by Enrique Iglesias - random I know)

*Says uh oh, dada, mama, and ba for most everything else.

*He is walking and thinks he can run - this usually results in a face plant

*Loves whatever Mom and Dad are eating. Doesn't like baby food from jars anymore. He loves Gerber yogurts, gold fish crackers, and Marshmallow Mateys.

*He loves our neighbor kids, Macie and Noah and gets so excited to see them

*His favorite toys right now are the Johnson's bottle of baby soap, the broom his size, wooden puzzles, his rocking chair, his teddy bear and the banana chair

*He still loves books and will sit down to read and talk to himself

*Loves helping Mom with laundry. He plays in the water and pulls out the dryer filter for me. Such a sweetie

*He still sleeps through the night from about 9:00pm until 7:30am. If he does wake up, he puts himself back to sleep. I think I got super lucky with this!

*He points and grunts when he wants something. We are working on sign language, but he doesn't seem interested in trying it at all.

*He LOVES the kitties and they are very tolerant to put up with his roughness

*He is pretty much happy all the time. It's easy to get him to smile and giggle

*He always has something in his mouth. And he has a big mouth, so we have to watch closely

*He loves his silky blanket and his binky (as you'll see in the pictures). They are his biggest comfort and will be hard to break the habit later.

So that's my little man at one. I pretty much love him to death!
