Isaiah is one! Wow the time goes soooo fast! I love watching him grow and it makes me so happy to watch him learn new things and hit his milestones!

Isaiah has mastered or started to work on all of the milestones listed above! He is so smart and loving! He loves to give kisses and loves to cuddle! He is on the small side just like his mom always was! He is in size 12 month shirts/onsies however has some short legs and is still mostly wearing size 6-9/9 month pants!
He could walk all the time if he wanted too however he chooses to crawl just like his mommy did for six months after she learned how to walk! We have had to slowly switch him from formula to milk because milk hurts his belly however the doctor does not think he is lactose intolerant he says most babies have some kind of problem transitioning and he will get used to it! He is mimicking us more and more each day! He has said yay and bye bye once before but hasn't since so not sure if it was a meaningful word or just babbling! He hates the word no but he sure does understand it! He gets told no all the time because he has a horrible infatuation with cords and plugs! He is very smart and knows how to turn on his own music. He is now dancing to music whenever he randomly hears it playing! I can't believe you are a year old already happy birthday baby boy!

First Birthday!!!
