One Year Review

This post is with some mixed emotion, this is our last bear picture because our last little baby is now a toddler! It really is amazing how fast that first year goes by. This past month a new bottom tooth has emerged with a total of 5 chompers now. Adam has been pulling himself up and standing so tall all month. Recently, he has been cruising along couches and walking behind his push toys really well, but not quite ready to be walking on his own. Unfortunately, he did get a virus with some pretty severe rash/blisters on his hands along with a double ear infection -- it was a rough week but we are all doing much better now. :) Adam had his first plane ride when we went to San Antonio, TX. He was awesome on the plane and slept most of the flight. The most exciting update is that his right kidney has developed perfectly, and we no longer need to see our pediatric urologist for further testing. Yay!
Adam, you are such a sweet and happy boy. You give the biggest smiles and have the cutest giggles. When I pick you up I love how you immediately start to suck your thumb and then play with my hair like its your lovie. You have always been such a great sleeper. We just love all your babbles. You are always talking and showing us your toys and telling us such "important things." You are just so cute! Although, I will admit we need to work on not pulling peoples hair. It may be a good defense against your brothers, but you are getting strong and those pinches and pulls can hurt.

Highlights from this past year
  • Rolling onto his stomach at 4 months and both ways at 6 months
  • Sitting at 7 months
  • 1st tooth at 8 months
  • Crawling at 10 months
  • Walking along furniture at 12 months
  • 22 1bs 7 oz and 29 inches - 50th percentile for both weigth and height
It has been such a fun past year. We feel so blessed to have such a health, happy, adorable boy. We love you so much, Adam!

I think we'll all really miss the bear pictures, but it's really fun to watch all your adorable babies grow up to be adorable boys!
