Keeping up with life the past two months has been challenging! I am so sorry, G. I've been terrible at documenting your firsts, funny things you do and of course, our daily joy that exists when you are around! So, here are the highlights--in bullet point:
1. You're one year molars came in--all 4 of them. You were a total champ through it all. Not fussy, but experienced congestion, runny nose, etc.
2. You do not have much to say. You grunt like everything, babble, but refuse to repeat words. There are moments when we "think" you've copied us, but we aren't certain. You like to keep us guessing. In a moment of desperation, I took out some ice cream after dinner a few nights ago and did some therapy with you. I will get you talking!!
3. You love to plop yourself down in hidden, secretive little places. We have a row of evergreens in our backyard. You love to fit yourself between two of them and sit down. It is adorable. There is also a little cement block--maybe 8x8 under our water spigot outside, You back yourself up and plop down right on that little block. This morning before we left for the day, you climbed up one step and sat down, letting your legs hang through the open backside so you could play with your toy that was resting on the next step up. Total cuteness.
4. You sleep so well! 12 hours each night. I love you for that!!
5. You LOVE to play outside. The minute we close the door, you cry. You want to run and play!
6. You love to brush your teeth. You reach for that toothbrush every morning. Hopefully our dental savings begins with you ;)
7. You are constantly carrying around something--a spoon, toothbrush, fork, bat. Again, melts my heart.
8. You are such a curious child. You look at things with such intent as if you are trying to figure them out--cars passing by, noises outside, cracks in between doors. I hope that eagerness to learn and investigate continues forever.
9. You are an active boy. You start moving the minute you wake up and don't stop until you go to bed. You kick balls, run, climb up the steps to the slide. You can do it all. Definitely all boy!
10. We love you more than you'll ever know, G. You are such a bright spot in each of our lives. Not a day goes by that I don't thank God for the amazing gift of being your Momma. We are blessed.
