Our son is 1 year old!

He is 1 year now!! Unbelievable.

Important

• His grandparents came here to join us from end Sept to end December and he is going to daycare 2 half days right now. Just before that, he had gotten adjusted so much that he didn't cry when I left in the morning.

• We celebrated his 1st birthday with cake (for us) in the morning, he loved the candles. He got some gifts from his grandparents (a car and some clothing) and Mia's old bike from us (he is still too small for it).

• Still 6 teeth but the 7th one is coming through

Eating

• He likes to eat and will enjoy almost everything! His favorite foods are pasta, potatoes, blueberries, grapes, bananas.

• We are building off bottles. The first bottle is 3 scoops with 150 ml water, second bottle about 100 ml and night bottle about 150 ml. I would love to have the bottles off before the Christmas holiday.

Sleeping

• sleeps through the night (until 5:30/6:00 now due to daylight savings) after 1-2 weeks of intermittendly waking up very early or around 3/4 clock.

• 1 to 2 naps depending on the wake up time or the fact if he is at daycare or not.

• falls asleep on his own, the first nap in bed or in the stroller 50/50

Motor development

• learned to stand up just after 11 months and now is cruising since a week!

• can climb up the stairs and wants to do that all the time

• can clap and wave now!

• can take small things between fingers

• pulls everything off the shelves and still puts everything in his mouth

Social-emotional development

• is now frustrated when he is not allowed to do something or can't do it
