RJ, you are ONE! Our short little squishy baby is officially a year old! Though you've only been here a short time, our love for you will last a lifetime!
You are a squishy little baby - Mama's dream! While you are short in stature, you more than make up for that in personality. You LOVE to smile and laughing seems to be a favorite of yours, too. You think Henry is the funniest, but Daddy and Pop get good laughs from you. Speaking of Pop, you light every time we FaceTime with him and Lolli. You definitely know they love you as much as we do.
You're very curious about the world around you. Some might say you are a bit on the nosy side, always getting into everything. Try as we might, we set boundaries for you, but you blow right on through them. You're very headstrong and determined and while it exhausts me most days, we know these are signs of leadership and success so we will tailor them appropriately.
A few of your favorite things include: your family, food, your pacifier, anything you can chew on. You love crawling every place you go, including out the doggie door. That is your favorite destination. You also enjoy getting into the dogs' water bowl and into Henry's room to check out his Legos. You're not a big fan of the car seat but you love going for walks in the stroller.
You have the BEST belly laugh and you smile with your whole face. You're especially ticklish on your neck and your belly. You think "This little piggy" is hilarious and that peek-a-boo is fun as well. You generally enjoy taking a bath but washing your hair sometimes ticks you off. Splashing in the tub is lots of fun for you.
Your 1 year well exam is next week so I'll update later with stats, but last week you weighed just under 21 pounds. You wear size 18 month clothing and some 24 month tops. Your legs are short, but you need a little extra room around your waist. You wear a size 3 wide shoe, well if you would actually wear shoes. We've tried hair bows and headbands, but you clearly aren't a fan.
RJ, you color our world and you've added so much JOY to our family. We love you to Heaven and back and can't wait to celebrate many more birthdays together. May God protect and carry you this year and all the days of your life. Love you!
Mama, Daddy and Henry
