It's hard to believe that it's been a whole year since my son came into the world. We celebrated his birthday at the park surrounded by family and friends. He's the light of our lives, and I am treasuring every moment, because time is flying by so quickly.
Accomplishments
- First steps- about a week after his first birthday.
- Talking- "mama" "dada" "bye-bye" "kiss" "baw (ball)"
- Crawling-army style at 5 months, all fours by 9 months
- Throwing a ball- 11 months
- Rolling a ball- 9 months
- Stacking blocks- 11 months
- Waving bye-bye and gesturing come here- 10-11 months
- Playing in the swimming pool- 6 months; now it's his favorite thing
These are just a handful of the things my boy has been up to this past year. It's amazing how much change has taken place to get my helpless infant with no vocabulary, head control, or expressions to where he is today- a confident, happy, healthy, playful little boy.
A New Start
I've been unplugged from blogging for the last few months as we've been involved in a cross country move. Now that we're semi-settled, I'll be happy to continue to share advice and adventures as frequently as permitted. We're living close to family again, and the joy that surrounds our son is such a beautiful thing.
