Firsts:

• First Word Bye-Bye... 

I love this video;)

• First Valentine 

• First time wearing a tie...

• Received first pair of tennis shoes! (Thanks, MiMi)

•  First time riding in a buggy like a big boy! (Picture on old phone)

• First Veggie, SQUASH then carrots!

• First fruit, bananas!

• First attempt at new walker!

• First birthday party for his cousin, Harper!

 (He had on a precious outfit but we had a MAJOR blowout, if you know what I mean;)
 

• Can't forget, we "watched" first premiere of Duck Dynasty;)

• Went to first Wild Game Feast at church!

We also spilled our first drink at Wild Game Feast. Mommy looked away for a split second and sweet tea went everywhere!!

• Cried when I came home, because he wanted me to pick him up!

• Cried when my sister left after keeping him all day! Well, we actually had her leave the room a couple of times and he would start crying, then when she left, he cried for her. :)

• Went to his first baby shower for baby Kase and Wedding shower for Aunt Erica...

LOVES: 

Carrots, Squash, Banana/Apple/Oatmeal (pretty much anything you put in his mouth)
Nap nanny
Laughing at daddy
When daddy says "Down, Set, Hike!" 
His kitty
Being held (ALL the time!)
Bath time...
Watching strangers (he's definitely a creeper) We have to turn his highchair around so he can watch people at a restaurant.

Other Updates:

He eats three 4 oz. bottles and two 6 oz. bottles a day. We started out the month eating a fruit/oatmeal blend for breakfast and veggie for supper. Now, we have moved to fruit/oatmeal blend for breakfast, veggie for lunch, and fruit and veggie for dinner. He is wearing a size 3 diaper (moving to 4 when we finish this last box!) He is wearing mostly 9 month clothes, he can still wear a few 6 month sleepers and some 12 month outfits as well. As far as sleeping... it depends on the night. The child goes from one extreme to the other. He will sleep through the night one week, then the next he gets up several times a night. (I think his gums are hurting him.) We haven't moved to his room YET, but plan to soon. The nap-nanny has been in his pack n' play but trying to lay him flat again. He usually takes one long nap and 2 short naps a day. He is a friendly little boy and smiles at everyone. Everyone always comments on what a happy baby he is. He's definitely rotten though, wants to be held and someone around at all times. He is into everything and grabs anything in his reach. He's definitely all boy and a momma's boy at that!:)

I want to end with a fun caparison...

 This little boy has my heart...
