My baby is one......and then some!

So as we all know I am a little late with this post.  Aiden turned one over 3 weeks ago!  It's still hard to believe, though.  If someone would have told me this time last year how fast it would go by I wouldn't have believed it.  Aiden has been such a blessing to our family and I just can't imagine life without that little guy.  Here are some things he is doing at 1 year.....
  • At his one year appointment weighed in at 24 pounds, 31.5 inches tall.  He's in the 66% for weight and 88% for height!  He grew 4 inches since his 9 month appointment!
  • Walking/running every where.  He started walking around 10 1/2 months  so now he has mastered running!
  • Drinks whole milk now out of sippy cup.  No more formula, no more bottles!
  • Loves to throw a ball.  He's pretty much obsessed with any ball.  
  • Which brings me to he says ball, dada, momma (sometimes, not often) thank you and jipper jappers a lot.
  • Eating mostly table foods (when he's not sick) Yogurt, lima beans, and black beans are some of his favorites.  And we just found out that he also loves cheese quesadillas.  
  • Trying to drop his morning naps (which is fun for mom).  Mostly just takes 1 really good nap in the middle of the day.  Maybe once a week he will still take a morning nap.
  • Has 7 teeth and it looks like the eye teeth on the top are coming in any day now
  • Loves to climb up on the couch and chairs.  He is definitely all boy!  
  • He started Mother's Day out at our church 2 days a week.   Even though I miss him so much while he's there it has been a nice time for me to get things done.  

Here are some pictures of him climbing up on the chase lounge........

Sometimes he uses Boo to help him up!  
He gets so excited when he's finally up there!!!  Boo gets excited too...
Then he decides the chair isn't good enough, he wants on the couch now.....
So over he goes.....
He's obsessed with my phone and the remotes.  I'm sure when he realizes that my phone is pink he won't have anything to do with it.....
He loves his chair he got for his birthday...

He even likes standing in it!!!
He loves reading books......well maybe not so much.  But I do try reading to him, he's just more interested in eating the book then listening to me read to him.  
He loves little Boo.  He loves Hercules, too, but Herc won't let him love on him like Boo will.  Herc just runs away!  
He's still loves cheesing it for the camera!  
Here's his backpack and lunch box for Mother's day out.  His backpack he has had for a while, but he received his cute lunchbox for his birthday from some of our friends.  
They (the teachers) made this for the kids at MDO.  Isn't it too cute!  I wish you could see some pictures of Jonathan as a kid because this picture looks JUST LIKE HIM!  I mean we always knew that Aiden looked just like Jonathan, but this picture looks exactly like Jonathan as a kid.  I love how Aiden looks like he is taking a mug shot.  Too funny!

I LOVE this blog post! All the pictures are great. Boo is like, "What is this little person doing to me?" You have got to scan a pic of Jonathan as a toddler - I am sure they are like twins :) I can't believe he grew 4 inches in about 3 months. He is definitely going to be a tall athlete! It's also so exciting that he's talking - was "ball" the very first word? And he says "Thank you"?? How polite! And I love that he already loves Cheese quesadillas, ha!

Hey, I meet you when you came and visited Ben and Kristen in Shreveport. I also went to OBU. I just wanted to say that your son is so much like Micah. I bought Micah the same bag and lunch box for Mother's day out. I enjoyed reading your blog.
