Ari is 1 year old!

Ari is now ONE!! He is a handful and full of personality and happiness! He now weighs about 18 pounds (which is triple his birth weight, yay!). He is 28 inches in length. He is now supposed to be drinking whole milk and Pediasure for extra calories. So far, he does not love cold milk. He now eats yogurt, eggs, cheese, chicken sticks, turkey bites, tofu, carrots, potatoes, cottage cheese, peaches, banana, watermelon, blueberries, yogurt melts, puffs, and some of my smoothies. He is not walking yet, but is pulling up and cruising all over the place. He can also stand by himself for about 5 seconds. He can also wave hi and bye bye, can give hugs and kisses, can throw a ball into the basket, can clap, drinks water from a sippy cup, can drink from a straw, and loves to turn pages of books. His favorite thing to do right now is push toys around the house while cruising. He has a walker to push and 2 new ride-on cars! He also says a few words, kind of. He can say puff, quack, woah, uh oh, and touchdown (in his own way). He loves to play with all of his friends at playdates, Gymboree, and Barnes and Noble. He usually steals someone's sippy cup or container of snack.

Ian and I think he is the cutest thing ever and love playing with him every day! He is the best person ever!! He still has 8 teeth, 10 fingers and toes, and lots of wavy hair!
