Overall health:
The day before his first birthday, Tucker got a little stomach bug (or so I think). He had diarrhea and was really uninterested in eating. This made him kinda cranky and clingy to me all weekend. I finally got some probiotic pills and put them in his yogurt and he seems much better today! The doctor said it was probably a virus and could take 10 days to go away. I'm happy that he's feeling better and eating more today! Other than that, he's been overall very healthy!
Eating:
Tucker's favorite foods include: cheese, strawberries, avocado, yogurt, cottage cheese, and bananas. These are basic staples in his diet. He's a good eater but not as crazy about food as he used to be. He definitely lets us know when he's all done eating.
He's down to nursing in the morning and before bed. He's doing pretty well with that however he's really not into drinking milk from a sippy cup. He'll drink water from the cup, but prefers milk from the bottle. The doctor told me not to stress about it. His bottles are still breast milk but we've been mixing in whole milk (he's not a huge fan of just milk yet). I think we'll work on cutting out the bottles and transitioning to sippy cups but if he doesn't do this until the summer, I'm ok with it.
Sleeping:
Tucker goes to bed around 7 every night. The nights we keep him up later, we find that he actually sleeps worse. However, he's been waking up at 3 a.m. and wants to eat to go back to sleep, so we're working on pushing through this (lots of tears and lots of awake time for us). He still likes to get up early-usually around 6. He takes 1 nap- usually for 2+ hours in the afternoon.
Development:
It is crazy how quickly he is learning new things every single day. He understands more and more words and is starting to point at things and mimic more and more sounds. He moos at cows, "woofs" at dogs, sings (the Itsy Bitsy Spider is his favorite-he does the motions), blows kisses and he's almost walking! Grandma Jane was able to witness his first step. We're pretty sure he is able to walk, but he isn't too interested in it. He's a speed crawler and isn't as confident when walking so he automatically goes down to crawling. His balance is better and better and we think he'll be cruising on his own pretty soon!
Play:
Tucker still loves books and has developed a major love for being outside. We've been having amazing weather and he's gotten very used to being out on our driveway, riding in the stroller, swinging at the park, or rolling a ball around the backyard.
