1 year
Size
We have our 1 year
appointment in a week (3/28) so I guess it makes the most sense to wait till
them for the measurements. We can’t wait to see who is officially taller. It’s
so close we keep changing our minds. Riley is definitely lighter though – we’ll
see by how much. Both boys are 6-9 month onesies and clothes, but Riley still
fits in a few 3-6 month things and Logan has grown out of a few 6-9 month clothes.
It’s so hard to guess what sizes they’ll be in for summer, but we are dying to
buy some of the cute new clothes that have come out.
Riley is ready
to move up a shoe size and join Logan in size 3.
Eat-Sleep-Play
Riley and Logan are still
on regular formula – we are waiting for our appointment to start switching to
whole milk. They still take about 2-5 oz at a time, 4 bottles a day and still
get solid food at least three times a day. We still haven’t been adding in too
many more table foods because of Logan’s gag reflex issue. It took forever to
get him in to see a speech therapist, and that woman was a waste of time, so we
are seeing a new, hopefully more helpful speech therapist on Tuesday. In
addition to only wanting to eat pureed food, puff, crunchies, and soda bread
(yes, soda bread), Logan has become increasingly picky with his baby food. He
will not eat any vegetables. Fruit and dinners containing sweet potatoes are
all he’s willing to eat at dinnertime. He starts screaming if we attempt to
give him something else. With the volume of his screams, Steve keeps getting
worried there is something wrong, but I believe it’s an advanced case of
pickyeateritis. He seems to eat fruit just fine. Riley, on the other hand, is
like a trash compacter. He’ll eat anything. Well anything except stage 3 baby
food. He continues to love table food and is willing to eat any stage 2 baby
food out there.
They still keep
getting colds, but most of them seem less severe. Poor Logan’s got a phlegmy
cough again. He’s over the virus, but those coughs seem to stick around
forever. The boys typically sleep through the night these days with no trouble
(though they do still seem to know exactly when we turn off our light). They are
still in bed between 7:30 and 8:10 and their AM nap is still about the same - an hour to 2 ½ hours around 10:00. Their PM naps have been averaging
a bit longer and aren't usually shorter than an hour. At daycare, they are
typically taking 2-3 naps a day.
Surprisingly, neither
boy is walking yet, but I’ve got even money on Logan. They are constantly
standing and cruising and love Love LOVE their walkers. If only they were
better at turning around…But they are very stable and walk nicely with them,
even one handed. When they are standing up with toys in both hands, they use
their belly to lean on the table. So cute!
Both boys love their
new birthday presents – especially the “activity garden.” Riley loves to play
with the mailbox on it. They also still love their table and things that aren't toys. They also really like crayons and coloring. Logan is a good scribbler!

Personality
Riley is ALWAYS
laughing. He’s such a happy kid and his smile is infectious. He loves to play
with others and is definitely a people pleaser. He listens very well and will
do anything for applause. Especially, “so big!” He is a total doll and has
started giving real, arms out hugs. Logan is always coming up with new silly
faces. His most recent one is a fish face. He is still very chill, but tends to
be more clingy and lovey. He still does not listen as well and is definitely
not a pleaser. It seems like he is thinking he will show you how big he is when
he wants to, so stop asking! He’s totally about looking good though – he likes
to wear his shades and loves being told how cute he looks!
Both boys continue to
be wonderfully behaved when out, which makes be believe I can take them just
about anywhere!

Riley: Eating (especially what mom’s got), Logan, walker,
activity garden, being flipped upside down, kids, toys, standing/cruising, playing,
computers/phones, and being applauded.

patient with him), his bottle, his pacifier (he is still addicted), being held/cuddling,

when he’s tired, teething, being woken up early for daycare, and brother
stealing his toys.
Logan: Waiting for his bottle, not having his
pacifier, teething, being woken up early for daycare, and brother stealing his
toys.
New this month: Using the walker with one hand, pointing at
things, making a wider variety of sounds.
As a 1st birthday treat, Mommy and Mema took the day off and visited Adventure Aquarium with the boys. Here are some highlights from the day.
The boys got so excited when they saw Mema come in!
This is so neat! Look at those things! They are pretty!
Whoa!
Kid zone!
We love those drums!
Can we come back tomorrow?
