Otie boy!

My baby boy turned ONE! This was the fastest year of my life. It's amazing to me the significant change in their first year if life. I just watched this tiny precious little newborn grow up to be a crawling, almost walking toddler. In ONE year. In one year, he gained 15 lbs, grew almost a foot, went from a bald head to curly locks, his cues turned into laughs. His cries turned into tears, his head got even bigger, his small tiny finger became cute and chubby. His eyes became brighter with his curiosity, and his kisses became real as he leans in and gives is an open mouth wet kiss. 

He is the sweetest thing. Things I want to remember.

-To give a hug, he leans into your face for a moment. 

-He thinks his siblings are hilarious. Especially Oscar. Boy, can he laugh at that kid. 

-He doesn't like car rides, but if we turn on the Beatles he's okay. 

-He says "mama mama mama" when he cries and it actually sounds like "I want my mama". 

-He's curious of everything right now and won't let us hold him for long. Church and stores are getting hard. 

-He loves his bottles and prefers that over food most if the time.

-He is the happiest little kid. 

-He is SO ticklish. It's the cutest! 

-He sleeps 12 hours at night! 

-He loves the trampoline. He is so giggly and just laughs the whole time. 

-At 12 months he decides, he does in fact... like the binky. 

We love our Otie boy! Our Otie coyote, our Otie bear, our little dreamboat. He's pretty terrific. 

Happy birthday Little man!
