My little man is 1!!!

A picture of him ON his special day!!

I cannot believe he is one. This year went WAY too quick! Some things about Stetson right at this moment....

-off bottles, onto sippy cups and he takes WAY longer to drink and he isn't as happy them so we may switch back to bottles as horrible as it sounds. Time will tell. I am ok with it all because he is my last baby...so baby him all I want.

update to last bullet- we put him back on bottles ( just really cheap bottles because we threw away our Dr. Brown's ones ) so he has a bottle at night....but sippy cups of soy milk at breakfast and before nap

-no more formula!

-doesn't like ketchup ( what kid doesn't like ketchup???)

-loves chicken!

-had his first ear infection ( with a 104 fever and throwing up - doc said he probably just throws up with high fever since this isn't the first time he has had 104 and throwing up ) and doc also deduced that he got the ear infection from being dunked in the pool---because he didn't have a cold or congestion at all before the infection )

-three weeks later---got a second ear infection...well actually double ear infections. And is teething really bad. I am hoping this all goes away quickly poor guy. Luckily...he sleeps REALLY well no matter what, he can just be fussier during the day.

- LOVES playing with Lucy and tries to do everything she does. It is SO cute. ( until he gets hurt because i know he will )

-Is a daredevil. Climbs on everything

-Has taken steps, but likes to crawl WAY more

-Likes to play peek a boo with his blanket

-This month he began saying hi, night night, baba ( bottle ) and thank you

Lucy's 1st dentist trip!

Now that Lucy is BEYOND 3, I really knew I needed to take her to the dentist. I asked for a good recommendation from my friends and we fell in love! They were sooooo all about the child. Here are a few pictures of her visit. There were numerous waiting rooms, and this one had a few different gaming systems.

Getting her teeth cleaned....they give the kids sunglasses because the light is "so bright" when they are looking in her mouth. I was shocked she wore them, what a perfect picture opportunity!

The dentist checking for cavities, she didn't have ANY! Yahoo!

A trip to the toy chest ( the best part of the dentist right? )

And a little playing at the fountain afterwards.

What a perfect morning! Stetson was able to go the week after, he did just as well. Now we will be going every 6 months for the both of them.

Tater tots and Jello

I have been taking a stab at making a few crafts lately that I have seen on blogs lately. This burlap wreath, seen on Tatertots and Jello....is one of them. Here is my lovely model showing you what it looks like. I added green ribbon to the top and it is now hanging on my front door. I think I will be making more according to different seasons. This will be my spring one :)

NIght out

We went to an activity at our church awhile back and had a lot of fun. I tried my best to document some of it......

Outside.....

Lucy has been having a lot of fun with her new bike!!!

Troy has been having a lot of fun with his new bike ( well new to him from his Dad )

And the kids have been having even more fun in their new trailer!

Stet has been having fun with his new ( to him---from Lucy ) car!!!

Our little man needs to learn to walk SOON!! He doesn't want to be held but wants to get around...so he crawls EVERYWHERE! Cement and all!

Excuse the messy face....I think it's quite adorable!

Cooking with Daddy!

Lucy and Troy made decorated these cookies for Easter! I think they did a great job!

11 months!

I cannot believe he is SO close to turning 1!!!! AGHH!!! Where does time go?

Things to remember:

- He is VERY clingy when I come home ( i love it but Troy doesn't )

- Drinks 3 bottles still a day ( breakfast, lunch and night time---all 6 oz ) At the moment 1 of those is completely soy milk. Updated -- he is at 2 bottles a day soy....so by the time he is 12 months he will be completely soy.

- Got his first bad case of diarrhea ( not like anyone cares) I think it is due to teething....poor kiddo. Update: we now think it was due to the almond milk we were trying with him. The other day he would have slept alllllll day long if we didn't wake him up so I imagine he is having a growth spurt too!

- 102 fevers with teething....dang teeth!

-Got his 6th tooth--if you are looking at him it is the tooth on the left of his left front tooth.

-Started clapping (when we say "clap your hands!" or "yeahhhhhhh" )

-Knows where his ears are
