ONE YEAR OLD!

Oh my.  It's official my baby is now a toddler!  A little boy!  The first year has come and gone and while there have been days that have creeped by, the memories looking back at his birthday make that special day seem not long ago at all.

This past month's highlights include:

Activities: We are still enjoying our playgroup, playdates and now Larkin has also started swim lessons and he and mommy are really enjoying that time together each week.  Larkin has also enjoyed his first friend's birthday parties this month.


Developments: He is finally getting a grasp of sign language.  He knows, "more" "all done" and "water".  We are working on a few more.  Larkin has also started waving to say hello and goodbye.  He knows "Momma" "Mommy" and when I ask him what sound a cat makes he will pretty consistently meow for me.  Larkin has also started walking behind his push cart this month!

Food: Physically he is getting a bit thicker now that he is on cows milk full time.  Lark gets milk 4x a day.  He eats breakfast at 7, lunch at 11:30, dinner around 6 and then has a snack at 3.


Naps: Lark is napping twice a day 9:15-11 and 1-3



On Larkin's official birthday he had a special morning as daddy stayed late to spend extra time with the birthday boy.  J and I went in when he woke up singing happy birthday and then I carried on a family tradition by retelling Lark his "birth story" in full detail (of course he was enthralled).  We had a very special day and capped it off with a birthday dinner at Fuzzy Taco.

Larkin is overwhelmed as he contemplates he is actually ONE. YEAR. OLD. !!

Of course birthday celebrations weren't over as his party was the next day!  More to come on that in my next post!
