Kruz's 1st Birthday Party
I didn't want to stress out this year over a big party but I wanted to do something special for Kruz's 1st Birthday.
We invited a few friends from church and our neighborhood and I found some ideas on pinterest.com and put together a little nautical themed BBQ on our freshly stained back deck. It turned out perfect. Yes there were some things I wanted to do that didn't get done but because I made an effort to not sweat the small things we all enjoyed the evening and had a really great turnout.
Kruz enjoyed eating the food and digging into his cake.
Kailah really enjoyed opening all baby brothers presents. :) what's his is hers.
Kruz 1 year!
One year has come and gone and it feels like just yesterday we had out sweet little baby boy Kruz!
Kruz makes me smile and laugh everyday! He has the cutest faces and really knows how to tug at my heart strings.
1 year Stats:
Height: 30.5inches(77percentile)
Weight: 20lbs 10ounces(15percentile)
Kruz still uses his middle finger for everything.
He is the hardest baby to diaper! This kid will not just lay on his back and let you do it, he constantly is trying to get away and squirms trying to get out.
I have never seen a baby smile as much over the most random things as Kruz does. He is always so smiley and happy. But he is also very demanding and lets you know when he wants something. There is no happy medium for this kid he's either over the top happy or totally sad or mad.
The minute I go into the kitchen Kruz is there to follow and whine at my feet for food. He loves to eat and is such a great eater. Just recently he has been showing me what he doesn't like. He does not like milk, cheese, meat, anything with a weird texture. But he loves bananas and lots of fruit like his sister so that's no surprise. He likes pasta and juice and water for drinks. Kruz likes food so much sometimes he screams at you that he wants what your eating and you have to show him his hand so he can see that he actually has what he wants right in his hand the whole time.
Keeping Kruz entertained is a little tricky. He doesn't like to be by himself and prefers to follow Kailah around wherever she goes. And I don't think Kailah minds at all. In fact I don't know if Kailah even realizes that she has a little shadow that follows her around.
Kruz loves Kailah! She helps keep him entertained and is such a great big sister to him.
Even when I have been upset with Kruz and scolded him about throwing food on the floor Kailah tells me "momma, be nice to baby!" (as I tell her when she is mean.). I love how protective she has been of Kruz.
Kruz started walking at 11 and 1/2 months.
He loves climbing the stairs. Anytime the baby gate isn't up he beelines straight for the stairs he is now a pro at going up and down the stairs and has been for about a month now.
When Kruz takes a nap or goes to sleep at night he really likes to have his blanket over his head. He always falls right asleep and never complains about going to bed. Since our big move he has been sleeping through the night like its nothing. He really likes being on a schedule and being settled in his own crib it has really helped his sleeping.
We love Kruz so much and are so happy he is apart of our family. He fits in perfectly and has been just what we needed!
