WE HAVE A ONE YEAR OLD!

Well it finally happened... our baby is now a big one year old! It was the fastest, slowest year ever! He is such a great little guy though. He just seems to get more and more fun every day.

At 1 year he is:

17lbs 13.5 oz- 6th percentile

29.25 inches- 27th percentile

Head is 18.75 inches- 90th percentile

A jump up in the percentiles this time! Woohoo!

He has 4 teeth and working on 5 and 6 (will have 4 on top and 2 on bottom)

Sleeping 11-12 straight at night still!!!

Cruising on furniture and working on standing up without help

Opening cupboards and making messes

Pointing at everything and asking "pssatt?"

Still loves cookies, books, water, and being outside

His big milestone for the month was moving from nursing to drinking chocolate milk. He loves it! He chugs the milk down. Could be a factor in his weight gain too! We are all happy with this change and Dad likes being about to give Russell his bottle before bed.

Now for the photo explosion:

Paper is delicious! I love being able to 

put things in my mouth 

Found some friends at Walmart to hang out with

Loves his Star Wars ships and making them fly

Russell joined the dark side- they have cookies

Loves climbing the stairs!

Mmm Chocolate Milk!!

Another gate... really guys?

Favorite- cuddles and chocolate milk

Pogs taste great! Thanks 90s

Feeding the little piggy his finger

Saw a firetruck up close

Petting zoos are awesome!

Opening drawers and making messes

I'm adorable!

What? I'm not reading Hop on Pop again...

Typical morning routine for a Russell

Going on an adventure with Mom...

To the Texas State Fair...

To see Kayle and meet Cooper (cute BYU boys)...

And do all the fun fair things- 

like eat fried food and pet animals

Unloading and sucking on wipes- just like Aunt Bubba

New sleeping style- arms full of blankets, like his Mommy

Waiting at the doctor's office

Can't believe I have to get tortured on my birthday...

Beach time to make up for shots!

Happy beach baby!

Happy Birthday Russell!

We love you so much!!!
