Today, our sweet boy turned 1!!! Our day was pretty much a normal day, but we plan to do things up right next weekend at his party!!! Walker is such a happy, busy little boy and it is so fun to watch him learn and explore new things. He is in to EVERYTHING but especially loves climbing the step stools, or on EK's little chairs to get on top of the table. Awesome.
He has learned some new tricks this month like when asked how old he is, he holds up his finger. He has also learned to do that mouth spitty thing that kind of sounds like a poot that all boys can do so well. Yeah, Big G taught him that one. Pretty hilarious!
He is still a great eater. He eats anything and everything but his favorites are bananas, mandarin oranges, yogurt, turkey, chicken nuggets, carrots, green beans, nutri grain bars, and yesterday he ate about half of my ice cream at Chick fil a, so I guess you could say he was a fan of that as well. He has been off of formula for a couple of weeks, and has done great with his milk from the sippy cup. He still does like to have his milk in a bottle before bed time though. I am curious to go to the doctor to find out how much he weighs!!! We are so blessed with healthy kids that we have only had to go to the doctor for well baby checkups....knock on wood!!! He does wear 9-12 month clothing (depending on the brand) and size 3 diapers.
He is still a great sleeper as well. He takes a little nap in the morning and his big nap in the afternoon, and then sleeps 13 hours at night. We are so lucky in this department!!! Some of his favorite things include being outside, swinging, climbing in and out of his rocking chair, any ball, music (he loves to dance), clapping for people, and whatever Ella Kate is doing. He is talking all the time. Some of his words are night night, that (he points at everything and says "that" like he wants you to tell him what it is), bye bye, more, mama, daddy, kay kay, and nana.
Walker's sweet daddy decided to do something special for our little guy tonight during youth group. J picked up a cupcake for Walker to smash and they got on the stage to celebrate with all our "big kids." It was super sweet and I am pretty sure Walker (and all the kids) thought it was the best thing ever!!
I just can't believe how much my little baby has grown! We are so very thankful for Walker and can't wait to watch him grow!!!! We are confident the Lord has big things in store for him. We are so blessed to get to walk through life with him as his parents!!!! We love you Bubba!!!
