Sucking on a little sweet corn!
You are looking like such a little boy!
Splash pad fun!
A little summer watermelon! Yum!
Catching your first parade...the Sweet Corn Festival! You did so good and were not even
scared by the sirens, or clowns!
One of Mommy's crazy ideas put into action. You tried to eat the chalk.
Your very special way of bear crawling!
- You were 20 lbs on August 11th at your 1 year check up!
- You only use your tube for nine hours, and only at night!
- You are walking behind a push toy and are spending more time letting go of things when you are standing.
- You are still taking two naps, about 1 1/2 hours each. I love that!
- You are a really good eater, eating two meals a day and a snack. You love cheese, spaghetti, peas, and are not a picky eater at all! I have some leftover homemade baby food that I will not let go to waste, but other than that, you are eating a lot of what we do! I have also given into some pre-made toddler meals to add some fat and calories to you diet.
- You love popsicles! You also love ice cream and will yell in between licks! It's a special treat to go get a cone and we always share.
- We have spent the summer swimming and I recently took you to a splash pad and you loved it.
- You are splashing all of the water out of the water table and still love baths like crazy!
- You are discovering that you can use your toys like they were meant to be used and will take all of your toys and books out at once.
- You are very into opening and closing doors, cupboards and drawers. You also like to take everything out of the drawers and cupboards.
- You are really starting to say things that I can understand. You say "MaMaMaMa..." and "DaDaDaDaDa..." over, and over, and over again.
- You say something that sounds like "No No", "Uh Oh", "Doggie", and "Hi".
- You mimic us when we cough or burp, very cute!
- You wave to everyone at the store, weather we are going bye-bye or not! You really know how to make those old ladies smile!
- You are so good when we go out to eat and wonderful in your stroller, however, you are not digging car rides right now.
- You squeal and get so excited when you see your neighbor buddy!
- Your other neighbor buddy has been your first "real" non-relative babysitter, but it's only been for very short periods of time.
- You bear crawl everywhere and you go fast! Your knees hardly every touch the ground, it's pretty hysterical!
- Your favorite songs are "Wheels on the Bus" and "Skidamirink". You laugh and smile and are starting to clap along to songs we sing together.
- You are content to read books together, especially before bed.
- You take your bottle and want to go right into your crib, no more rocking you to sleep or cuddeling. It is so sad to me and has resulted in some mommy tears, but I'm hoping it's just a phase.
- You are wearing mostly 12 month clothes, but you have suck a skinny waist! I think you are going to be a long, skinny string bean boy!
- You still only have your two bottom teeth. Your upper ones are going to pop through ANY day, I can feel them, they are right there!
- You spent your first night in a hotel and Auntie Lib babysat you and hooked you up. She is the only other one that had ever hooked you up since you came home from the hospital!
- I am not ready to let you go and start work and day care, but since I know this is what we have to do, I am ready to get on with it and start out new routine.
