McKay - 12 Months

12 months ago today, at 6:28 pm, McKay Jordan Moser was born. We had no idea we could love our sweet boy so much!

An update on our boy (mostly for us):

McKay sleeps on his side with his arms and legs at a 90 degree angle to his body. He has slept like this since we stopped laying him down on his newborn wedge. He also prefers to sleep at the very bottom of this crib, with his head in the corner where the bumpers meet and his body along the bottom. He is getting taller though and the crib isn't wide enough for him so one foot is usually up on top of the bumper.

McKay's hair is starting to curl in the back. Yeah!!!

I am trying to teach McKay baby sign language. He understands most of what I say and has signed 'book' back to me. He also likes to fold his arms for prayers.

McKay loves watching the picture screen saver on the computer, especially when he sees himself. He gets SO excited!

Another thing McKay gets really excited for is a bath. He acts like he is going to jump out of his skin he is so excited!

McKay has 4 teeth on the top and 4 on the bottom.

In the last week and a half or so, McKay has decided it is time to phase out one of his naps (sniff, sniff). During one of his afternoon naps when he was not sleeping, he figured out how to click his tongue.

McKay likes 'Popcorn Popping' and will do the popping action but not during the song - he's too busy watching Mom & Dad doing it! Now anytime we do anything remotely similar to that action (ie. Jordan snapping his fingers) McKay does the popping action.

He has also started 'dusting' off his hands. It took me a while to figure out what he was doing. I realized what it was one day when I was feeding him lunch and I was snacking on some trail mix and had to dust off my hands. One handed dusting prompts the popcorn popping action and two handed dusting prompts him to do the 2 handed, fancy way of clapping (basically it is clapping your hands sideways, one hand on top and then the other. :) ). He thinks it is so funny when we both clap our hands that way!

This morning, McKay got my bluetooth and was holding it up to his ear and saying 'aaahhh?' at the top of his lungs. How does my 1 year old know what to do with a bluetooth!?!
