My son turned ONE today. We got an ice cream cake and let him go at it. It was a nice small intimate occasion right in our dining room table. (Pics will be uploaded later)
Even funnier is that we went to another birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese and I figured he'd think that it's all for him! lol
I still can't believe that a full year has passed us by. My boy is so big now. It makes me sad thinking that the years go by faster when you're older! Ugh. I remember going to the hospital in the middle of the night to be induced. Having him was the easiest labor I've had Out of he three. Because he is the 3rd child almost everything he has was a hand me down from Alexa.
We didn't stress as much and we didn't splurge with the baby room or even the baby shower. We kinda did everything low key, which was a nice change. I think I enjoyed being prego the 3rd time around, and I truly believe that played a big part in his personality. He is really a happy baby. Smiles and laughs all the time. I love his little smile with all his teeth, it's too cute. And now he is already one.
12 Hunner things:
1- He has eight teeth, 4 up top and 4 on the bottom. Perfect little square teeth. He loves to brush his teeth! He bites down on the toothbrush though and I have to brush his teeth with his mouth closed. He hasn't grasped the fact that he needs to show me his teeth yet.
2- He still sleeps in his bassinet and loves to cuddle with his favorite blanket and a nukie (pacifier). He is a good sleeper and sleeps through the night. In the morning he calls out "maaaa maa ma ma ma" or just recently "dadadadada"
3- He wears a size 18-24 months. He is stocky and chubby! He's got rolls on his thighs and his feet always look swollen!
4- He is stands on his own, but is not eager to try to walk. When we left him up to stand, he just lifts his legs up in the air, motioning to sit
5- I feed him what we eat as a family. Chicken, Rice, french fries, spaghetti, whatever... He doesn't like to feel left out! lol
6- If you give him a cell phone and say, "hello?" He puts the phone to his ear!
7- His hair touches his nose in the front and goes past his neck in the back! We haven't cut his hair yet. Thinking about giving him a trim soon though. It's getting to the point that we put his hair up in ponytails! He looks just like his Ate Alexa.
8- Hunner let's me clean his nose with the green bulb that you take home from the hospital. I just say, "More Hunner" and he keeps still and lets me do it. That is amazing to me, because Sam and Alexa would have to be tied down by one person while the other person uses the bulb. So I'm so happy that Hunner is easy. I hope he doesn't change this.
9- He moves constantly. When we put him on our wood floors, he moves around so much that it looks like he's break dancing! Future b-boy!
10- Hunner moves his butt up and down when you say, "Dance, dance, dance!" or if he hears a beat that he likes
11- Hunner is the best cuddler. When he is comfortable with someone, or if he is tired. He will lay his head on your shoulder. I LOVE this about him. He is so sweet.
12- When I pick him up for the first time in the morning, after he calls out for me or Paul, or when I get home from work and pick him up, he greets me with an excited laugh, smiles, moves up and down while smiling and laughing, and will look at me and give me a wet open mouth kiss!
