My sweet Christian Jeremiah I cannot believe that you’ve been with us for over a year now. Every time I look at you I’m still amazed at my reality of being a mother to three handsome boys. I feel so blessed to call you ours my sweet boy. You are full of light and love and have the most contagious smile. I love waking up in the morning to your kisses, sometimes your smacks, but I can’t even get mad at you when I look into your eyes. That being said yes you sometimes sleep with us but only because your room is far from our bedroom and I’m still not comfortable leaving you there all night.
Ever since you were born you have had your very own bedtime routine. You expect your night time bath between 6-7pm ish or you start to get fussy. Then after some milk and cuddles you’re fast asleep. We put you in your crib, some days you wake up and that’s when I take you upstairs sometimes I just want my bed so I carry you up and pray that you don’t wake. But every time you get on my chest you just want my boobs which brings me to say that we are still breast-feeding.
I can’t believe we're still breastfeeding. It was a struggle the first time around and I only made it to six month. The second time around we made it to the 12 months mark but it was very very hard and now it's been over the one year mark and you want nothing to do with letting it go. Which is fine by me since you’re my last baby and I will never get to do this again.
You love your brothers so much and they love you too. I am curious to see how the relationship between you all will be as the years pass being that you are all almost 7 years apart. As of right now I love the unique relationship that they have with you. Your older brother loves you very much but he is a teenager of little patience and can only handle you in doses. And your little brother he is a wild child that goes down to your level. He plays with your toys, spins you around, feeds you, cuddles you, it’s like you guys are just a couple years apart. It's so funny to watch you two play. You love him so much your face lights up every time you see him. When you’re napping and you wake up you stand in your crib and you yell for him "AJ AJ" it’s the cutest. You’re constantly calling for him, when he enters the house or when you can’t see him you call for him until he comes for you. I think you call them both AJ but you know that the are two different persons.
You are such a good eater. You love everything from chicken to pork, steak, and beef. Quesadillas, cheese, and yogurt are your favorite. You love fruits but you don’t like the texture too much you, would prefer to have them as purées. You can tolerate bananas sometimes and watermelon but everything else you love as purée specially vegetables. We gave you spaghetti for the first time not too long ago and I was surprised to see that you liked it you kept wanting more. Bread, rice, and beans are all a plus for you. Definitively not a bad eater. You get that from your oldest brother.
You loved the pool and being in water, you are always down for a splash fight and you will not back down. You are so loved Christian! I loved not knowing the gender when you were still in my belly. Everyone loves you so much, you are one special little boy and I look forward watching you grow, seeing your personality develop, and hearing your little voice.
You say words like hi, bye-bye, daddy, mama, thank you and gracias. Teta and leche are big ones. As of lately you've been saying more, no, and stop. You’vebeen walking around calling me mom. You just randomly walk into the kitchen saying "mom mom" and all I can do is laughed because that’s what your brothers call me and I think you’re picking up after them. You play peekaboo and have learned a few body parts, more specifically in your face. You started to walk right at 11 months and now you can go up and down the stairs and get up and down from the couch and AJs bed. You love climbing and doing anything that I would prefer you don't do. Quite the temperament that you already little one.
You are our last baby and I truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better than you my littlest boy. We love you far beyond the moon baby boy, welcome to toddlerhood.
