Seeing that Ian had his first birthday this month, here are some things that I always want to remember about Ian when he turned 1:
* He's a BIG Baby~ he weighs in at 25 lbs 14 oz and 30.5 inches long and wears 18-24 month clothes.
* He's off formula and drinks whole milk (thank heavens that expense is gone!)
* He takes 4-6 steps consistently, yet when he realizes that there is nothing close by to hold onto, he just sits down. He's such a chicken!
* He says "dada" when Don's around and "mama" for pretty much everything else.
* He eats all table food now. Mashed Potatoes with gravy, Oatmeal with applesauce, Bananas, and yogurt are his favorite foods.
* He loves to shut himself in rooms, particularly the pantry and his bedroom.
* He chews on everything in sight. Books, toys, letters, magazines, furniture. It's like we have a puppy. I'm going to have to replace the coffee table and side tables because of all of the bite marks all over them.
* He loves taking bathes in the tub with Nolan.
* He loves to get into every cabinet and pull out everything, especially my hairspray and gel.
* He is my little escape artist. I'll leave him in the living room to change the laundry and he makes a bee line for the pantry or stairs.
* He can climb the stairs and has even partially mastered going back down the steps.
* He blows raspberries to make you laugh and "clicks" or "wags" his tongue to get you to do it too.
* He is the happiest, easiest going baby I've ever had. He's content to watch me cook and clean or play by himself for a few minutes.
* He adores Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Handy Manny, and Baby Einstein movies. All he has to hear is the introduction music and his head turns to see where it's coming from. It's great that I can buy 20 minutes to clean the kitchen or take a shower.
* He loves to wrestle with his brothers and dad. Crazy huh?
* He is super-duper ticklish and will laugh when you growl or even pretend to start tickling him.
Isn't he just the sweetest?
