Happy Birthday ...My Baby is ONE?!?!?

How old? 12 Months
Total Weight:  22.2 lbs.
Length:  31”
Eating:  EVERYTHING!  Officially on a sippy cup of cows’ milk (this is huge for us)
Sleep: Napping like a champ twice a day.  Sleeping a solid 11 hours at night WOOHOO!
Fun Facts:  We have a walker!




OH. MY. GOODNESS....when did an entire year pass me by!  I cannot believe we officially have a ONE year old!  This little man has been such a blessing and has given us such joy in this one short year.  I am so thankful to be his mommy and have loved every minute of being able to stay at home with him.  He has changed sooo much since birth and has developed quite the personality!  Dawson has officially transitioned to whole milk from a sippy cup! WOOHOO!!  We are beyond thankful that this has even happened after dealing with MSPI for so many months.  I was very concerned that it would upset his stomach, but he has done so well and loves it!  He is so cute walking around the house drinking his milk like a big boy! 
 Also,We officially have to baby proof the house now that he is walking everywhere!  I love it.  He is in such a fun stage!  Everyday is a new adventure and he keeps me busy!  He loves for me to chase him around the living room and tickle him.  He loves playing ball and just being super active!
 
 



As far as growth goes his weight gain has drastically slowed down.  I think he is just so active he burns calories fast! He has only gained a few ounces in the past couple of months putting him at a little over 22 lbs which is 35th percentile.  As far as his height goes...he is steadily growing!  At his well check the doctors asked if "Dad" happened to be 6' tall?  I laughed and said, "not even close!"   His answer was...."Well, it looks like this baby will pass his Daddy around the 6th grade"  He has not slowed down in gaining an inch every couple of months which keeps him around 75th percentile for his age.  His projected height is 5'11''-6' tall.  Brent and I literally find it quite humorous, but are excited for Dawson if that is the case!  Precious boy also has quite the noggin.  He is in the 82nd percentile for head size which has him in 2t-5t hats.  I am so thankful to have a healthy growing little boy!
The best I could get on his birthday
 
This baby loves him some cake!
 
Sleeping baby pics are a necessity!
 
Happy Birthday sweet Dawson.  Mommy and Daddy are so thankful to have enjoyed you for the past year!  We cannot wait to celebrate many more birthdays to come!!!
