January Update

Hannah and Timmy are starting to interact a little more.  Big sister loves to help Timmy and had a blast riding in this cart car with him while we went grocery shopping.  It took us a little longer to get our shopping done but the giggles were so worth it!

Hannah spent some special time decorating the shirts that Uncle Aaron and Aunt Lisa gave her for Christmas.

 

Timmy has learned where to find the yummy snacks!  He loves to get into his diaper bag to find treats when mommy's busy in the kitchen.

 

  

Timmy loves to be doing whatever big sister is doing.  Thankfully, they play together so nicely.  The giggles are priceless!  Music to a momma's ears!

 

We spent a rainy weekend constructing this flower shop for the kids out of an old cardboard box.  Hannah has played with it for hours!

Hannah and her friend Addison at Castaway Cafe.  They had so much fun running their hearts out!

Timmy's 12 Months

Oh, my sweet boy.  I simply cannot believe that it has already been a year since we welcomed you into our family.  What a challenge and a joy it's been! We had a rough start with the reflux/colic, but you'd never know it now!  You have such an easy-going personality and we just adore you to pieces!

 12 Month Stats:

Weight:  21 lbs, 14 oz (35th percentile)

Height:  29.5 in (39th percentile)

Head Circumference:  18.5 in (68th percentile)

 

Mommy cut off your curly locks in the back this month!  I had been in the process of trimming up your bangs and then moved on to the wings above your ears.  This month I decided it was time to take care of the "mullet" in the back, but it was so hard to cut those beautiful blond curls!   I think you look so handsome with your haircut though (and now you are not being mistaken for a girl so often!)

You learned how to clap this month!  You love the responses you get from your new trick and it encourages you to do it even more!  Another trick you've learned this month is giving high fives.  You also got your 8th tooth!  You now have 4 on the top and 4 on the bottom!

We finally found a food that you cannot refuse!  You are a picky eater, my boy, but you double fist the macaroni and cheese!  You have even learned to say, "Yum!"

Happy 1st Birthday, Timmy!

We took you to Olive Garden for your birthday since you love their macaroni and cheese.  Unfortunately, you weren't that in to the dining out experience.

Hannah picked out this Cars water bottle for Timmy, wrapped it herself, and waited with anticipation to give it to him.  I think it was his favorite gift!
