Kellan is 1 year old!

Happy St. Patrick's Day all! My little guy is one today!



We had a party for Kellan this past weekend and we were fortunate enough to have almost all of our family there (we missed you Uncle Jonny, Nay Nay, Nolan, and Mia!). Kellan enjoyed himself and enjoyed trying some yummy cake for the first time!

This cake thing looks like fun...

Check me out! This turning one thing is pretty cool!

At one, Kellan:

-can walk pretty well (with the occasional tumble when he gets off balance!) He now walks most of the time and only crawls every now and then.

-loves to play with balls and cars. He loves pushing balls around the kitchen (where they roll really nicely), and he can roll a ball back and forth and even isn't too bad at throwing the ball either.

-is a snuggler at times (so unlike his big sister!). He loves to bury his head in your lap, and he even can be seen crawling across the floor with his head to the ground--not sure what he's doing but he seems to enjoy himself! He also sometimes squeezes his eyes shut and gives a big cheesy grin when walking-cute, but a little dangerous!

-he can say things like dada and mama, and babbles a lot of nonsense. He can say things like "uh oh" when he drops something, and he also makes the panting dog sound with the tongue out.

-he is still a great eater. He has taken to milk pretty well (BYE BYE FORMULA!!) and he enjoys eating "big people food"...waffles, pancakes, veggies, fruit, the works.

-he is pretty inconsistent with napping but takes at least one nap a day, sometimes two. He sleeps very well at night thought--usually from about 7:30 until 7:00.

-he loves to "play" with the dog-following her, stealing her toys, throwing her squeaky shoe and balls for her, bothering her while she's trying to eat.

-he loves his big sister and enjoys watching her play!

He is truly a sweet boy and we've loved watching him grow this past year. We look forward to seeing what the second year holds!
