One year ago today...

...this little guy came into our lives. He makes us laugh every day. I can't imagine life or our family without him.







At 1, he is aaaallllmost walking. He's just about got it. He loves to eat solid food. He eats pretty much whatever any of us are eating. He particularly likes pizza and grilled cheese and all kinds of fruit. He loves to press buttons anywhere on anything. He sometimes plays games with his toys now, instead of just manhandling them. He likes to play with the girls Fisher Price dollhouse and he puts the people around into all the rooms. He likes to play the game where he hands you something and then you hand it back. And so on and so on and so on and so on and so on. And so on and so on. From this game, he has developed his first sound approaching a word. He says "da doo" for "thank you" when he gives you something or you give him something (or just randomly alot of the time). The consonant sounds aren't even close but he has the cadence and inflection and he uses it in the right place, so we count it as a word. Just in this past month he has started doing all these new things that show how close he is to breaking through to toddlerhood.

But he's still my baby.
