Month by Month of Boaz

I thought it would be fun to show the month to month countdown of Boaz in his first year!

Doesn't he look soooo big now???

He's One

It's hard to believe that it has been a full year since this little man joined our family!  He is vastly different in personality, looks,  and his set of skills from his siblings - nobody told me the fourth could be that different!

Here's the rundown on this guy at 1:

He loves to eat and will eat almost anything.  Bananas he spits out - but we are pretty sure he is allergic to them so that is okay!  He also had allergic reactions to sweet potatoes, green beans, plums, carrots, and watermelon.  He also had allergic reactions to amoxicillin and sulpha antibiotics.  First child of mine to be allergic to anything!  Probably his favorite thing to eat is small veggies like peas and corn but he also really loves meat of any kind.  He does well with whole milk and drinks from a sippy cup like a pro.  I am still nursing him on a limited basis.  Without a doubt he will be the hardest one to wean...this boy is attached to me.

He prefers to be with me to any other person, but tolerates his dad pretty well too. As for anyone else, it's hit and miss.  He does like his siblings a lot and loves to interact with them.  

He has several words that he says consistently: mama, dada, yeah, God, wazowski, ball, and his number one favorite GO!  He loves our prayer that we sing before dinner, so when you put him in his high chair he automatically throws a hand in the hair and says "Gah."  He talks like a "monster" constantly and loves the characters from Monsters Inc.  It's very cute to hear him talk in a growly voice and I have taken to calling him "Bozowski."  He continues to use the word Go more than anything.  When he wakes up, I am always greeted with "Go." It is cute, except in the middle of the night.

He sits and plays with toys better than any of my kids ever have.  He especially likes to play with cars, balls, and all Little People toys.  He also loves music and will bounce along to it.  He could walk, if he ever tried.  He is such a fast crawler and can keep up that way so he doesn't seem interested in walking.  

We have lots of nicknames for him:

Big Bad Bo

Bozastic

Bozer

Bozaz

Bozes

What can I say, we are a nickname family?
