One year ago at precisely 2:18am on February 18th, 2017, Henry Theodore came into this world and he&#8217;s been making it a sweeter, more smiley place ever since!<\/p>\n<p>I could gush over our little man&#8217;s adorable-ness for eternity. But instead here are all the little things I want to never forget about Teddy at one year:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When he first (re)meets someone, he stares at them intensely for 20 minutes. But once he recognizes that you&#8217;re good people, it&#8217;s all smiles, giggles and even a little flirting from there on out!<\/li>\n<li>He LOVES to eat. His favorites are any carb, yogurt, rice and beans, vanilla cookie, spinach cakes and bananas. He&#8217;s really sensitive about texture and not so into other fruits and vegetables. He believes those should be promptly thrown on the floor.<\/li>\n<li>He smacks his lips when he sees other people eating and will stare at their food awkwardly until someone gives him some.<\/li>\n<li>He furniture surfs like a champ. But no walking or free standing at the moment.<\/li>\n<li>He loves to make noise whether it be hearing the sound of his own high pitched voice, banging on the table or pounding on the step stool in the bathroom<\/li>\n<li>He loves straws. He uses our big plastic straws like drumsticks and resembles a drummer in some sort of 80&#8217;s rock band<\/li>\n<li>His beautiful blond curls!<\/li>\n<li>He always wants to be in the mix. He&#8217;s pretty content as long as he&#8217;s where the action is&#8230;which is usually trying to keep up with Andrew.<\/li>\n<li>&#8216;Teddy the destroyer&#8217;; an affectionate nickname given to him because he leverages his ninja, cat-like reflexes to demolish anything you try to build with blocks.<\/li>\n<li>He&#8217;s started clapping, waving and blowing kisses&#8230;sometimes.<\/li>\n<li>He loves to splash during bath time. Bring on the rain poncho!<\/li>\n<li>He has a passion for finding the unlocked cabinet, opening it and turning whatever is inside into a tambourine.<\/li>\n<li>They might be exaggerating but he is the current &#8216;Palmer School favorite&#8217; as declared by all his teachers!<\/li>\n<li>His nicknames: Teddy (because remember, his first name is actually Henry!), Teddy Bear, Teddy P., Teddy B., Ted, Teds, Tedders, Tedster &amp; Good Time Ted<\/li>\n<li>He giggles after he sneezes.<\/li>\n<li>He loves wind in face.<\/li>\n<li>He&#8217;s ticklish.<\/li>\n<li>You say Dada but your first word was Mama \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<li>The Kleinfelter genes run strong in him (&#8230;and we&#8217;ll see how strong at his next height\/weight checkin)<\/li>\n<li>He&#8217;s fully embraced our family routine and sleeps like a CHAMP with no fuss!<\/li>\n<li>The fact that only his pediatrician refers to him or has ever called him Henry.<\/li>\n<li>His unwavering love, never-ending interest and purest enjoyment from being with his older brother. Teddy&#8217;s smile shines brightest for Andrew!<\/li>\n<li>And the way my heart melts when I pick him up from school and he&#8217;s so happy to see me. The big smiles, squeals, clapping and &#8216;can&#8217;t get to you fast enough&#8217; crawling. I&#8217;m a puddle!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Happy first birthday my sweet boy! You&#8217;ve completed our little family and bring oh so much joy to everyone around you. It&#8217;s truly an honor and privilege to have a front row seat to watch you grow, explore and take on the world. I can&#8217;t wait to see what&#8217;s in store for you as you enter your next chapter, aka &#8216;Teddy the Toddler!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Love, hugs and birthday wishes! xoxo<a href=\"https:\/\/njphillipsfamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/img_8235.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/njphillipsfamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/img_8235.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6443\" height=\"980\" alt=\"\" width=\"748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/njphillipsfamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/img_8235.jpg 748w, https:\/\/njphillipsfamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/img_8235-229x300.jpg 229w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 748px) 100vw, 748px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/njphillipsfamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/img_8239.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/njphillipsfamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/img_8239.jpg\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6444 size-full\" height=\"942\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/njphillipsfamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/img_8239.jpg 750w, https:\/\/njphillipsfamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/img_8239-239x300.jpg 239w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And just like that our littlest turned one!
