One

He's 1.  My baby is 1.  I can't believe it. We celebrated on Sunday with family, even though his birthday was on Tuesday.  My mom and her husband and my siblings came over from Pinedale to celebrate with us.  We some yummy dinner of beef dip sandwiches and had cake and ice cream. It was nice to just hang out and have fun.  We got him his own little cake to eat by himself and had cupcakes and ice cream for the rest of us.  After eating, we cleaned Merrick up and then it was present time!  His big present, which is really for him and Kayton, was a wooden train set.  We got the train table a while ago at a yard sale and now we have a train for it!  They love it and it's quite a fun toy.  It was a good party and he loved getting so much attention.  





 





Here are some updates on him.  
(Stats to come soon)
  • He says ball, daddy, door, and just noises
  • He loves his brother and when they play together
  • He loves to be tossed around and tickled
  • He waves bye bye but only with his right arm
  • He is getting pretty good with the walking, he takes about 5 steps at a time and then falls down
  • He has 8 teeth, 4 on top and 4 on bottom
  •  He has learned how to fold his arms for prayer, but they don't stay folded the whole time
  • Loves to play with balls 
  • He likes to swing and just be outside in general
  • Loves to take baths/play in the water, all I have to do is turn the water on and when he hears it, he comes zooming down the hall to get in
  • He loves to play the piano and basically any instruments that Nate has for him to play with
  • He usually only likes to eat if he can feed it to himself.  Sometimes he won't eat if I am feeding him food from a bowl or something like that.  He is getting good at eating bigger food
  • He loves to play with my dishes and snoop around in my cupboards
  • He still has a clogged tear duct in one of his eyes and we will probably have to take him down for surgery next month
  • He is still such a mama's boy, even though he doesn't say my name yet
