I can't believe you are a whole year old. You learn something new everyday and are changing so much. You have blonde hair that grows kind of crazy so most of the time it's messy. You have big blue eyes that are wide and curious. You get lots of compliments on them. You have long, dark eyelashes so I think your hair will darken as you get older. You have pretty, pouty lips that all the girls love. You have your dad's body type with short legs and natural muscle.
You are walking (and trying to run) everywhere. You are a very busy little boy! You like to investigate and be involved in everything.
My favorite part of the day with you is first thing in the morning after we wake up. You are so excited to see me when I come in your room. Your hair is a mess and your face is soft. Your eyes are bright but still sleepy. You give me a hug and you'll snuggle with your blankie while you have your bottle. We all snuggle in our bed with all the pillows and blankets around us and watch George or climb on Daddy so he'll wake up. The morning is when you're the happiest and most loving.
I love how attached you are to your blankets. You definitely have your favorites so it gets rough when they need to be washed. You are a boy who loves music! You love to dance and wiggle when you hear songs you like. You even sing a long to some of them.
You are a total mama's boy lately and I love it. I think it makes Daddy a little sad but you guys will be best buds soon enough. You love to hold me and give me hugs and pats. You like to watch me when I get ready and help me pick out clothes from my closet. You help me cook and clean and do the laundry.
Some of my favorite things you do are things you've figured out on your own. I love how you know to step out of your pants when we get you ready for your bath and how you think you're big enough to climb in the tub by yourself. I love how excited you get. You ball up your fists and literally shake because you're so excited. You say 'ooh' and 'wow' a lot and smile great big. You look around to see if everyone is as excited as you are.
You've picked up a lot of my facial expressions; mostly ones I didn't realize I made. You're learning even when we don't know we're teaching you.
You are the most independent when you're being mischievous, otherwise you want us to play too. You love George! He makes you light up and I love it!
You aren't talking much but you wave hi and bye and are starting to point at things. You love planes, trains, trucks, balls, and animals. You are such a boy and you are so excited to grow up so you can do all the things you watch the big kids do.
You love to eat breakfast foods and snack foods. You aren't a great eater most of the time but we're trying to be patient with you.
You make us laugh every single day and we tell you so many times how much we love you. I hope you never forget that for even a second.
You are my little angel and my best little friend. I am so happy that I get to be your mama.

We had Shanda from Shanda Photography take pictures for his one year. She did a fabulous job (and is gorgeous) and we had a lot of fun with her. Hiccup doesn't usually like to smile for pictures so we were thrilled when he was in a good mood and we got several different expressions from him.
