Jaxon is 1 year old

Jaxon is already 1 year old. Its so hard to believe.  This year has really gone by fast. Its been amazing to watch him grow.  So thankful and blessed to be Jaxon's mom.

Jaxon had a farm themed birthday party and it was so much fun to plan.  I'm not that creative but thanks to pinterest and my friend with the printed decorations, it turned out really well.  He really enjoyed his cake.  So thankful family and friends could be there to help us celebrate.  Mimmie and Pop Pop and Great Aunt Gloria stayed with us for the weekend to help get ready for the party.  Grandma and Grandpa Jordan, Aunt Susan, and Great Grandma Bessie came as well.  We also had our play group friends, small group friend, friends from church and friends from Raleigh that came for the special occasion.  Jaxon is so loved.

12 month check up
Weight- 19lbs and 13oz
Height-2 ft and 5.5 inches tall
Head circumference- 46.75 cm

He has moved up to 25% for weight yay!!!
He enjoys black beans, chick peas, avocado, green beans, acorn squash, sweet potatoes, applesauce, yogurt, and peas.  He loves to feed himself and make a mess.
He is also drinking whole milk now.  Trying to wean him off breast milk.
Still no teeth, but somehow he bit a hole in his sippy cup.
His teeth will bother him off and on.  The doctor says they are coming in and when they do it will be several at a time.
He is making all different sounds now- Mimimimi, Mamama, Bababa and Nanana.  His screams are more high pitched now.  Sometimes we will have a screaming contest.
He can pull up on almost anything and hold on and walk.
He loves to pull the Kleenex out of the box and he loves playing with the toilet paper that he will find in the bathroom.
Most of the time he will wave his hand goodbye if we ask and we think he is trying to say bye-bye.
If we ask him to give us something that he is playing with he will hand it to us.
Jaxon has graduated to a different walker.  He makes laps around the house and is really good at turning around or moving it if something is in his way. He walks like a penguin.  He would fit in at a nursing home with his walker.  Its so cute.  It was a great buy at a consignment sale.
