One Year old!!

Nick one day old!!
Nick one year old!!

It happened!! My baby turned one year old!! Seriously this last year has gone by so fast, and Nick has grown and changed so much!!  He is such a great little boy!!
He currently weighs 23 pound, and is wearing 12 - 18 month clothes. He is in size 4 diapers.  He has 8 teeth, 7 up until last week.  He has been sporting the odd number for about a month now, so we were happy to have that one come through finally.  He loves playing "peek-a-boo", having baths or showers.  He has become very attached to a blue fuzzy blanket and will NOT go down for a nap or the night with out it.  I even made a new blanket out of the same material, but he does not like it!! He also has a stuffed monkey that he sleeps with that he loves.  He also loves books, he doesn't necessarily like you to read them to him, he just likes to turn the pages!
At ten months he started (we made him) sleeping through the night.  He has two 1 1/2 - 2 hrs long naps every day.  He is happy and is going, and exploring all the time.  His tricks are waving, clapping, high fives(more like swats your hand out the way), walks along the furniture, and pulls him self up on everything. His favourite trick is to shake his head "no", which is always a crowd pleaser!!  He won't let me feed him any more.  He wants to feed himself which ends up all over the floor and him!! He started army crawling in May, and has finally decided at 11 months that crawling on all fours isn't so bad!
He had a fun birthday party for him.  Grandma Susie, Grandpa Scott, Grandma Marolee, Grandpa Del, Grandpa Bruce, Great Grandma & Grandpa Dudley, Aunt Monette, Aunt Amy, Uncle Max, mom, and dad all showed up to wish Nick a happy birthday!! We ate lasagna, caeser salad, and garlic bread!! Most importantly we had cake!! Nick loved the icing!! He made a bit of a mess with the cake.  He didn't destroy the whole cake or eat the whole cake.  He did his thing them we took it away and cut it up for everyone to have some.  I was just going to give him a little cupcake but everyone out voted me and said to give him to whole thing.  It all turned out awesome and was a lot of fun!!
Nick got spoiled!! He received a walker, a pirate ships, books, a sock monkey, and pjs.  I think thats all, but I could be wrong.  It was a great day!! He love our Little Nicholas and are so happy that he is a part of our family!!
