12 months old

Our amazing little guy is now 12 months old!! A whole year has passed in what feels like a blink of an eye!

Weight:9.995kg

Teeth: 9

This month there has been A LOT of teething, with three teeth busting through in one month it’s been pretty tough for Arthur!  One of these teeth was his first molar, I didn’t realise it was coming through (honestly I wasn’t expecting it this early) and we had a few days of real grumpiness with Arthur then as he was crying I saw into his mouth and realised it had popped through!

Arthur is walking around now like a pro, in just a month he has gone from first steps to walking pretty much everywhere.  He really doesn’t crawl very often if at all now!

Now obviously, turning 12 months old is a pretty big deal, take a peek at how we celebrated Arthur’s 1st birthday!!

With that big milestone occurring Arthur has experienced (and loved) a lot of new food….cake mostly, no surprise that he loved it!  We also introduced cow’s milk this month, I wrote about it however an update post is needed since it didn’t go so smoothly as I initially thought!  Arthur is however having two lots of cow’s milk a day in sippy cups and one bottle of formula milk at bed time.

Another big event this month was leaving Arthur with a babysitter for the first time!

Arthur absolutely adores our neighbour’s cat Smudge, they are so sweet together.  He points at her and says ‘at’ but now every animal is an ‘at’.  Pointing is something we are seeing a lot of right now.  I find it amazing as it has helped us realise just how many words he knows….if we ask him ‘where are the trees,bus, fan, ball, daddy, mummy, cat?’ he will point them all out!!

Last month I mentioned that we had changed Arthur’s nap routine, and (please don’t let this be jinxed by me writing this) we are starting to see some improvement.  The ‘normal’ wake up time now for Arthur, I would say is more like 6am, it feels really good after a long long time of ridiculously early wake ups!

This month will be busy, it’s only three weeks until we are in the UK for the summer so will be doing out best to be organised for that!!  I’m anxious to see how Arthur will be on the ridiculously long journey!!

 In the meantime I am going to keep enjoying how much fun Arthur is (aside from teething grumps!!).  He is such a funny little guy, and on a daily basis he’s amazing us with how he is developing into his own person!
