Age 12
months
Weight & Length 31 inches, 21 lbs 6 oz
Clothing size Mostly 6-12 months, but starting to wear some 12-18
month clothes
Hair Blonde- and getting longer- going
to need a cut if it since it is starting to get in his eyes!
Teeth 8 with
at least 2 molars that will be popping through any day!
Sleeping Jackson
sleeps from 7:00-8:00 pm until around 6:00-6:45 am when he wakes up and nurses
and often goes back to bed until 7:30 or 8 for the last month. This has been a great routine for us
while Mommy was studying for boards but we are both going to have to start waking
up earlier soon! He is rarely if
ever waking up at night and has become a great self soother. He falls asleep very easily on his own
with minimal fussing and sometimes sings himself to sleep. He naps twice a day but is starting to
fight the PM naps, so he may end up napping only once a day soon.
Eating Jackson
has continued to explore lots of new foods. He loves trying to use a fork and a spoon at 12.5 months but
is working on his proficiency at actually eating with them. He is still nursing once a day in the
morning, and has started taking whole milk very well. We also have stopped
heating his bottles and he has done well with that too! He takes bottles at
10:30 am, 2:30 pm and at 7 pm before bed.
Movement Jackson is pulling up on
everything. Just after turning 12
months, he started walking everywhere with his learning walker and his new Wheely-Bug
Bumble Bee. He loves to move about
and is really fast. He also has
learned to stand by himself for a few seconds at a time (around 12.5 months).
Milestones The biggest milestone of
the month was learning to sleep and after a week of sleep training, he is a
champ. He is so cute at bedtime
and sometimes smiles and waves bye bye to us as we leave his room after tucking
him in.
Favorite toys/activities He loves his new Cozy Coupe, Anywhere chair and
radio flyer wagon- all first birthday gifts. He continues to be very interested in reading, and will sit
in his new chair and read books independently which is so adorable.
Dislikes Honestly,
now that sleep training is over and he is sleeping great, we can’t complain!
Words & sounds Lots of
babbles. He says mama and dada a
lot, when we are in the room but not predictably to us or with prompting. He is very vocal and often says “ooh
ooh ooh” when he really is excited or wants something.
What we love Being his parents.
What we don’t love We love it all!
What we’re looking forward to next month Walking
and real words!
Happy First Birthday to the sweetest little boy in the world (b-day party pics to come in a future post).
