Wow, it was one year ago today that we got up at 5am, went to the hospital, went through induction then C-Section and, well, read that story in the post "From Induction to C-section.."
One year old! We made it! He made it!
At one year, the baby boy:
Stands, but doesn't walk. He "cruises."
Says gibberish that sounds a lot like "Da da" and "Ma ma" and "Ba ba" with the "Ba ba" being directed at a banana.
Eats a lot of solid things and even use the spoon and fork...on occasion, very briefly, before we just feed it to him ourselves.
Breast feeds a little.
Climbs up on the couch and bed, but can't get down.
Crawls FAST.
Loves certain books more than others, like BEAR ON A BIKE and FIVE UGLY MONSTERS. But he'll probably get tired of those in a week or two and love something else, because that's what we've noticed him doing...
He plays by himself a little bit longer than he used to.
Points at a lot of things. Like, you can say, "Where's the airplane?" and he'll point at the airplane in the sky. (Sure glad we live under a flight path!)
Takes a bath sitting up.
Has 8 teeth? I think?
It's late. We went for a walk, then to the library, then Facetime with New Dad's sister and parents, then he ate, then he napped, then woke up and played drums, ate again, went for a walk with New Mom's parents, then to dinner with New Mom's parents, and back home to eat the cake New Mom made.
Somewhere in there, there were diapers.
I don't remember the diapers as much as I remember the screaming.
Oh, he still doesn't like to have his diaper changed.
Seriously.
