12 Months

My baby is 1!!! What a joy this year has been! Knox is such a blessing to our family and I couldn't imagine life without him. He is such a sweet boy, but with a major wild side! He doesn't stop and keeps me super busy. I thought Hannah Grace was busy, but she was nothing compared to Knox. Here are some things I would like to remember about Knox at this age:

Likes:
Anything his sister has
The Toilet (Ugh)
Hannah Grace's Kitchen
Balls
His Lovie
Climbing into and on top of everything
Yogurt

Dislikes:
The Ocean
Large Crowds
Most fruit
Not being able to do what Hannah Grace does



Knox is a pretty good eater, but not as good as Hannah Grace was. He is much more picky and doesn't like as many foods as she did at his age. His favorites right now are yogurt, pasta, green beans, peas, blueberries, waffles, pancakes, grapes and anything with cheese on it. He weighed 27 lbs at his 12 month appt. and was 32 inches. I thought he was similar to Hannah Grace, but looking back she was only 23 pounds and 30 inches, so he is much bigger than she was. He is saying a few words. Mama, Dada, Nana, stairs, ball, bird and more. He is waving, clapping and he loves to pat with the Little Einsteins, while Hannah Grace is watching it. Knox started walking a few days after his birthday! He will not sit still to read a book, but I do keep trying! Love our little man and look forward to all the fun things he will experience this summer!

Beach Birthday

We had a little celebration for Knox's birthday the last day at the beach. What a fun way to end a great beach trip! Can't wait for next year!!

Hannah Grace trying to cheer him on, but it didn't work. He never touched it!

Hunter and Hays tried to tell him he would love it! They certainly enjoyed theirs :)
