13 months!

Josh is 13 months old! I can't believe it. He is such a good baby. I really can't get over how easy he is. The only thing he does that makes me say "no" is either when he throws his food off of his tray or tries to get in the trash. But seriously, he is so sweet and so easy going. I am praying that if we have another baby, he or she is just half as easy. :)

He's 28 pounds and 32.5 inches long, both in the 95th percentile. He went for his 1 year check up on Tuesday. He was supposed to get 4 shots and then a blood draw but I am spacing out his shots so he got 2 shots and then the blood draw. It was HORRIBLE. I felt so bad for him. I know he was just mad and not really that painful but it's hard to see you child so upset when they are being held down. I'm so glad that's over.

And I am officially done nursing. This morning was my last time ever with Josh. Very bittersweet. I loved nursing and will miss it. But it is time and we are both ready. So technically, I'M FREE!!!!!! :)

And our bedtime routine is just unbelievable. I feel like some night, he's going to snap and it's going to be difficult but it is so super easy. We go to his room, put on his PJs and then read a couple books. Usually after that I turn the lights out, rock him as we say our prayers and sing a song. Then I just lay him down in his crib and he doesn't even move, he just goes right to sleep. But tonight, we got done reading books and he kept reaching for his crib. So I just turned the lights out, said a quick prayer and laid him down. Never heard a peep. I just went in to check on him and he hadn't even moved. Seriously???? Do I really have a 13 month old? And did my 13 month old just ask to be laid down in his bed? He must have my sleep habits...hit the pillow and in 20 seconds I'm out.

We feel so blessed to have Joshua as our son. He brings so much joy and laughter. He loves to "wrestle" by just falling on us. He likes to put anything that fits through his hoop. And he loves to walk out of the room but come back when no one follows him. I just love his sweet smile and he always has hugs for his mama.

This is a flash back to when Josh was 9 months old...his hair has grown so much and he has teeth now :)
