Chase is ONE

I can't believe my baby is one today. Here are some facts about Chase:

* He has 6 teeth (4 on top, 2 on bottom)
* His unofficial wight is 20 lbs
* He only takes one nap a day for 1-3 hours
* He has yet to sleep through the night!
* He usually wakes up 2 or more times a night, sometimes for hours
* Pretty much the only way he will go back to sleep is to nurse
* He is still breastfeeding. This is a huge milestone for me. I have never made it past six months. Chase never had to have ANY formula and hasn't taken a bottle since Sept. It really is time for me to have a break :)
* He can feed himself finger foods
* He likes to eat baby cereal and baby food, but he will also eat yogurt, cheese, bread, french toast, pancakes, cheerios, bananas, applesauce, strawberries and watermelon.
* He can pull himself up to furniture and walk around it, but I don't think he is very close to walking
* He is very mischievous and gets into everything that he is not supposed to. He is my first child to play in kitchen cupboards and drawers
* He is a complete mama's boy and really doesn't like anyone else if I am around.
* His favorite toys are balls and cars because he can hit them across the wood floors and chase them
* He has started to throw temper tantrums by screaming and flinging his head back
* He does not like it when someone takes his toy and he lets you know it!
* He does not say any words yet, but he makes lots of sounds
* His hair is still red, but I think it is growing in blonder. I am afraid to cut it because I don't want the red to disappear
* He is still a sweet little cuddler when he wants to be and I love it!






Chase did not want the birthday hat on:

We had cinnamon rolls for his birthday treat because I thought he would like them better than a cupcake. No such luck :( He ate one bite.

Chase at his family party about 2 weeks before his actual birthday. He doesn't really understand why everyone is looking at him.


Let's blow out the candle.
