Our little man turned one-year old on June 24th!! I can't believe he's not a baby anymore and is now a toddler! He has developed so much since our last post...He now loves standing on his own and walking along furniture and has started walking on his own, taking about 7 or 8 steps at a time...there is such determination in his eyes, he wants to do it SO badly!! He doesn't talk much; he says mama, dada, uh-uh, un-huh and grunts a lot when he wants something :). We have tried to teach him the signs for "more" and "all done", hopefully he will learn those soon and grunt less! He is an okay eater, he really likes junk food and it is constant struggle to find healthy food he will eat. He has 12 teeth and drools more than I thought possible! He is long and lean, 32 inches long (99th percentile) and 21 pounds (41st percentile). He is ALL boy, loves to climb on everything and bang things together. He is not nearly the content baby Kennedy was, he has to be entertained constantly; if he is bored, watch out! What keeps him most entertained is taking walks around the dairy, playing outside in the water and climbing up and down the stairs - you can find Kennedy, Will and I doing one of those three things at any point in day, except when he is napping and he is a great sleeper! He is OBSESSED with his feet...putting his shoes on and stepping on everything. He LOVES trucks and tractors and anything loud and HATES animals...he is so scared of our dog and all the cows, but is starting to get a little more comfortable with them. I keep telling Paul, with a love for trucks and tractors and a fear of animals, he is bound to be a farmer :). It has been truly awesome watching him develop over his first year of life, he is so much fun and is constantly keeping us on our toes! They say boys are harder as babies and get easier as they grow up...I sure hope it's true :).
