He finally graduated to a forward facing car seat and it is Heaven!!! He has been loving being able to see where we are going and doesn't feel so left out. Although I still sit back there with him sometimes.
We finally got him to clap on his own. It is very hard to teach him anything because he will not sit still long enough for stuff like that.
Got his other top tooth finally! Still just has two on top and two on the bottom
So close to walking, he stands up in the middle of the room and takes a couple of steps but gets nervous and sits down. He has the leg strength and the ability he just needs the confidence.
Helps Mommy water the flowers every night and will do anything to get outside.
Climbs up on the dishwasher and tries to "assist" in getting the dishes out
He is getting better about entertaining himself and likes to sit on the floor and look and books on his own, push his trucks around, and play with his other toys.
He is a stinker about getting his diaper changed and when its a poopy one and he is not in a good mood so we can distract him it takes 2 of us to change it with one of us holding him down. Not fun!
He had his first trip to the dentist. Jared saw a spot on his tooth and we thought it was a cavity even though we thought we were doing everything right so we took him in and turns out its just a defect on his tooth and not a cavity. Phew!!!
One day out of the blue he started pointing and leaning his body towards what he wants. It is so funny
He points and says "this" which is his first word besides momma and dada
He loves dogs and gets so excited whenever he sees one. Jared's family has a dog that is a house dog and Brogen follows her around relentlessly and all she wants is some peace and quiet. My sister also has a dog and whenever we are at my parents house he wants over to the window to look out at Miley. He is not afraid of her and loves getting licked which I think is disgusting!
He is a pretty picky eater right now and eats most table food just fine but will not eat his fruits and veges very good.
For his birthday we had a little family part at my parents house in Enterprise. There was a lot of family that came to support and make his day special. He even had both sets of great- grandparents on my side there. My lil sis Sara spent hours making the cake and it turned out awesome. Brogen loves Baby Einstein shows and would watch all day everyday if we let him so that was the theme for the party. The cake was the Baby Einstein caterpillar and he loved it!
He was spoiled and got so many fun things for his birthday. We got him a little wagon that he can push and pull and he got clothes, toys, and money to go with his new piggy bank.
He wasn't too sure about digging right into his cake but he sure made a mess with the frosting. Jared said he looked like the Joker from Dark Knight with frosting around his
mouth.
He went straight to the bathtub after this, that black frosting wasn't coming off that easy. He had a great first birthday but I was so consumed with getting the food ready and the presents wrapped that I feel like I neglected my boy who was whining and pulling on my leg all day so next year I decided his birthday can be low key with no party and I will just play with him and do whatever he wants that day. Love you buddy! Its been a great first year!!!
