Oh my goodness. One whole year.

I can't believe that my Isaac is a year old now. He was so little when we brought him home. Now he is this big baby.

Well at twelve months we have six teeth. I don't see any others trying to pop up, but he really doesn't like you looking in his mouth. With those six teeth he eats just about everything. He loves pickles and strawberries. He eats sandwiches, cheese, apples, bananas, lots of chicken. He is a chicken kid for sure. He is also obsessed with french fries (which apparently I am too, with this pregnancy). He loves his sippy. Actually he only loves the cheap Gladware-ish ones. He usually refuses to use one of the real hard plastic leak proof ones. We are working on using utensils. 

He was really sick for a few days. Massive fevers that had me totally stressed out. I took him to the doctor, twice. He got a rash and everything. So in conclusion, it was something viral. I am actually thinking that he might have some issues with Ibuprofen... Hence the rash? 

We had him on whole milk for a bit, slowly working it into his diet by mixing it with his formula. We had a few days where he was on just whole milk. Anyways I noticed him totally change. He was a miserable child. He would scream every time he woke up, even in the middle of the night. He wasn't eating much. He was super clingy. Horrible poopy diapers. It was a very difficult few days dealing with him. I kept trying to think what would be wrong with him, he was totally not himself. Then I decided to try putting him back on formula. His milk was the only that was different since the major attitude change happened. Literally the next day he was back to normal. So we are going to try different forms of dairy and see if he has any sort of reaction to any of it. Kids can be sensitive to milk, lactose intolerant, or have an allergy to milk protein. I've done some looking into it, very little so far, but I don't think he has an allergy. We'll see.

Issac started walking at eleven and half months. That is when he started taking steps. He is getting better at it every day now. He likes walking around with your finger though. He thinks he can walk up and down the stairs. Seeing a baby walk is so strange. They are so little. It's too cute.

And finally to wrap up our twelve month stats, Bubba is talking. He's been saying things like dada and mama for the past two months, but it seams like he started walking and talking all at the same time. He says go away. It totally makes me laugh. Brett and I obviously say this to the dogs, more particularly Emma, too often. He also says that, no, tap tap tap, go, boat, vroom, good, sippy, and dog. Obviously these words aren't crystal clear, but he knows them and we know them.

So big.
