Eats-3 main meals with a couple snacks. He drinks water and milk from sippy cups but still takes a few bottles throughout the day as we wean those. Some of his favorite foods are bananas, string cheese, turkey, pancakes, macaroni and cheese, fig bars, yogurt and sweet potatoes. His favorite and biggest meal of the day is breakfast...although he is a very good eater.
Wears-size 4 diapers, size 12-18 months clothes and size 2-3 shoes (his feet seem small to me!)
Sleeps-Bedtime is around 7 and he sleeps through the night and is usually up between 6 and 7. When we are home, he takes a morning nap around 9:30, usually for an hour or two. He takes an afternoon nap between 1-2 for about 1.5 hours. His night time routine is pretty simple...bath, bottle, poems & prayers and then bed. He usually goes to sleep pretty well without much fuss. He still sleeps in his sleep sack and sucks on his paci frog.
What else is new-he is standing without holding on to anything, he has 4 teeth, he signs "more" by clapping his hands together, he says "bye, thank you, hi, mama, dada and ball". He gets a kick out of his sister and wants to be where ever she is. He loves "helping" unload the dishwasher and he loves emptying the kitchen and bathroom cabinets. He rarely sleeps in the car and if he does it is just a cat nap. He helps with dressing by holding his feet up and threading his arms through his shirts. He still loves bath time and playing in Ashlyn's room. I don't even bother trying to pick up toys when he is in the same room because he goes right behind me and pulls everything out/down again. He loves "sorting" laundry and eating popsicles (you could insert any word after eating and it would most likely be appropriate!). When I put food on his tray, he will survey his options and usually go for the meat or cheese first. He gives huge open mouth kisses. If there is a blanket or pillow on the floor, he will lay down and pretend to go to sleep. He tunes into the TV more than Ashlyn ever did/does and loves to dance to music. He still loves remotes, phones and balls. He is not so crazy about having a toy taken away from him by his sister, having a door closed with him on the other side, having his diaper changed and getting strapped into his car seat.
I am a bad mom and didn't take his 12 month pictures :( I also didn't schedule 1 year birthday pictures. I am hoping we can have some family photos taken sometime this summer or early fall. Parent of a second child fail! Here are a few shots from his 1 year check-up.
It's been a wonderful 1st year Paxton Doyle. Looking forward to many, many more!
