1 YEAR!

It's finally here!  Jeriah is now 1 year old.
Still weighing 22 lbs, with 31 1/2" tall.  He is getting big for his age.
He is walking (waddles) pretty good all around the house, although he crawls from time to time to get places faster. He even likes to push chairs or other light furniture around as he walks.  He pulls open drawers on his own now and we've been trying to invent different ways to secure the ones that might be dangerous to him.  Since we are renting we didn't want to screw in the baby locks to the new cabinets so we have been using belts and paracord to tie them.  But the drawers we do let him open are plastics or other noise making things he can play with.  He would first pull everything out but now he likes to rearrange things.  He pulls something out of one drawer and puts it in another.  Or he will put his toys in random drawers.  So when I'm in the kitchen looking for things to use to cook I can't find certain pot or find his toys....  It's funny, sometimes...

He still hasn't said any words yet although he has tried, like "bababa" for banana and "papapa" for PAN which is bread in spanish.  He usually signs when he wants something or just wants to know what it is.  We were told that since we are introducing several languages to him that it might take awhile for him to start speaking.  But he does understand when we tell him things. 

He loves playing with us, more like climbing on us or playing peek-a-boo or or even wrestiling with daddy.  He is such a boy!  

He is finally sleeping through the night, thanks to the help of daddy.  It was a long few nights sleep training him but we did it!  So no more night feedings!  Yea!

(Sorry for waiting so long to update.  Was waiting on 1 year portraits to be ready.  This will be on the next post)

News Flash!

Andy and I are pregnant again with the second baby on the way. It was a whirlwind of emotions but we are getting excited now that Jeriah will have a sibling to play with.

More posts on this later maybe I will have to open a new blog for baby number two.
