Dash Hurst at a year old!
This little boy is such a joy! He is usually in a good happy mood unless he is hungry or teething. This year has gone by really fast and I can't believe that we are at the year mark. I remember holding him for the first time and feeling so happy, but also feeling it hard to believe he was really here, almost like a dream. I love this baby so much and am so happy he is mine. In a way, I kinda relate to him being the second child as I was in my own family. I have to protect him a lot from his older brother, but sometimes he defends himself by going at Jet with his mouth open wide and trying to bite him with the few teeth he has. For the most part he is a good sport, but he can be whiny when brother is playing with him and he just wants to be left alone. Here are his growth stats! The doctor was surprised to see how his growth came up so much from our last visits. I switched Dash to formula and I think that helped him with his growth which makes me torn because they say breast is best, but in this case Dash wasn't growing well on just breast milk. Anyway, he is off the charts with cuteness for sure!
Height: 31 inches 83%tile

Here are some things we love about Dash:
Has started to walk everywhere, still falls quite a bit, but gets up and keeps trying
Loves his dog Cody.
Sleeps 10-11 hrs a night and naps twice for at least an hour each nap
can give high fives!
Waves bye bye and claps his hands
loves to blow raspberries
shakes his head 'no'
picky eater, he makes funny faces and spits it out when he doesn't like the food or is full
Whenever someone else has food, he makes a b-line and gets excited to eat it!
Loves drinking milk!
Enjoys headbutting the couch
Can throw a ball
He has two bottom teeth and his two teeth next to the middle teeth have come in on top. The right middle front tooth is about to poke through any day now!

Likes a pacifier (helpful when he is kinda fussy or being too loud especially in church)
He can be really loud!
Loves to give open mouth kisses
I love Dash's innocence and I hope I never forget what a sweet boy he has been at this age and never forget his little baby face. He is so much fun to have around and I feel so blessed to have him in our family!
