Happy 1st Birthday Little Cubby

Happy Birthday Little Cubby!

Today you turn 1 year old. You were born 9lbs 4oz. Everybody at the hospital kept saying what a big baby you were, but I thought you were perfect.

You love to follow your big brother around all over the apartment. Your big brother likes policing you every chance he gets.

You love to push your toy cars all over the floor. You are really good at getting where you need to go by crawling. Sometimes you go so fast that your body can not catch up and you fall forward.

You can walk by holding on to the furniture but you are not sure about walking independently. You would rather crawl.

You love to make faces. You have a funny face when you want us to laugh. You have a pitiful face when you want attention. You have an annoyed face when your brother is bothering. You like to smile a lot.

You like to be held and to cuddle. You would be happy if Mommy or Daddy held you all day. You can give kisses but they are rare. They are special sloppy kisses when you do.

You have no intention of giving up nursing. You want to all the time. At this rate you will be doing it forever. You like to eat pretty much anything. Your Daddy says you don’t have any taste buds but he should talk he can pretty much eat anything as well.

You still are not sleeping through the night. You get up around 10 or 11pm and then again around 3 or 4am and then again around 6am. I usually can get you to sleep to 7 or 8am after that. Mommy has gotten used to sleeping in this pattern.

You think your brother is funny and you try to imitate what he does. You laugh when he picks you up and carries you to another room. You don’t like when your brother hugs you extra hard. If your brother is bothering you, you usually try to hit him to make him go away.

You can kind of do a high five. You really like to use one finger and point at everything.

You only use your pacifier only at night. You sleep in Mommy and Daddy’s room and we sleep in the living room.

You really giggle when we tickle you. You are very ticklish.

I can not believe it has been a year all ready that you entered our lives. You bring so much joy to our family and have made us whole.

We love you! Happy Birthday Baby!
