I know this is about 2+ weeks late, but this past month, our little guy turned one year old. It amazes me every day to see how he has changed and the new things that he is learning. At 12 months old we are getting a few "words" out of him. He seems to say "Mama" and "Baba" and the last day or so he has started babbling quite a bit to himself. It is pretty cute to listen to, and I am sure it is a preview of his vocabulary to come. Despite his limited speech, he is able to communicate through sign language. He can sign milk, more, all done, water, food, dog, bath, nap, and thank you. When asked (and he is in the mood) he can tell you what a lion and monkey says. He knows where his head, nose, and ears are located and he can clap, stomp his feet, and blow kisses on command.
He has 7 teeth, and the molars are on there way. I noticed a tear in his gum on one side, so I think one will be making it's appearance soon. He is now on whole milk, but both Mom and Brady made it to the one year mark breastfeeding. My freezer stash helped us get through the last few weeks, and I am thankful for that.
He truly is a sweet little boy. He has his moments and tantrums, but he has a shy side that is precious. I think he gets that more from his Daddy, but I can see why, because he is a Daddy's boy!
I cannot put to words what this past year has meant to me, but I will say as I have before. The LORD truly allows us to be parents to give us a glimpse of the love that he has for US, and what a LOVE that is, so powerful and life changing!
