I LOVE his 1 year old pictures. And I have to brag and say I took them myself. I'm not a photographer but I was so sick of paying for pictures when my children wouldn't smile for a stranger. They smile for me better then anyone else so I decided to try it out on Jaron's one year pictures and although I'm not the best editor and have a decent camera but not some super fancy camera, I think they turned out great.
Despite it not being his best month because of hand foot mouth, he still managed to hit a few milestones. He got his 2nd tooth, (first one on the top) and he was teething while being sick which probably just added to his misery and not wanting to sleep. He got his 2nd tooth on top the day after his birthday.
He is obsessed with waving. All the time when he's eating lunch or breakfast I'll just look over at him and he'll start waving to me. It's sooo cute and I can't help but wave to him a lot during the day just so he'll wave back. He even waves to people at church as they walk by to leave the room. Everyone always cracks up when he waves to them.
I got this box from out basement intending to build a blockade for the stairs and Jaron loves it.. He crawls into and will just sit there playing for a long time. So now when his sisters won't let them in their play house, he just crawls into his box. I tell the girls that the box is Jaron's play house. Of course as soon as they see him playing in it, they also like to play in it with him. So much for the blockade I was going to make, but...
Jaron learned to turn around and crawl back down the stairs. Thank goodness because he is obsessed with the stairs. He would spend all day on them if we let him. We've finally just stopped blocking the stairs because he's pretty safe and he can get around any blockade we put up. The only problem now is he thinks he's more stable then he is because he likes to stand up and hold onto the railing and put a foot up or down the next stair like he's just going to start standing and walking up and down the stairs.
2 days before his 1st birthday Jaron took his first steps. It was only 3 steps but he did it a couple times and we were all there to witness it so it was fun. He can also stand up on his own in the middle of a room without holding onto anything and he's so proud of himself. In fact so proud that many times he stands up and claps for himself. He obviously knows how excited we are for him with every thing he does.
His sisters call him Buddy. You'll always here him say 'it's ok Buddy, no Buddy, or come on buddy' It's cute to hear them talking to him more even if they still do scream at him a lot and slam doors in his face when they don't want him around.
Jaron had his 1 year appt. the week after his birthday...
Weight - 21 lbs 2 oz (50%)
Height - 31 inches (90%)
Head - 75%
He is healthy and right on schedule for his milestones. At the end of the appt. his doctor said she can tell he's just a happy, healthy baby and don't we all wish for that. I agree, I don't have any concerns or major issues with him right now and he is such a cute little boy that we love having in our family.
