You are so close to a year old, it is kind of starting to hit me, hard.
During this month we celebrated your first Easter and you had your first sleepover at grammy's without us, and you did really well.
I must say that you are such a happy little man, and so adaptable, you nap well generally wherever we put you (as long as you have a radio on) and you smile/charm/flirt with everybody shamelessly. Your dad and I love showing you off.
You met your aunty Danielle this month and she joined the group of those you've charmed. I love when people who've known me get to meet and know you, it makes me so happy.
You weighed in at 18lbs 5 oz, when we had to go do a doctor's appointment due to a crazy bum rash that you had.
We expanded your food options this month-spaghetti, pancakes (you love holding onto them) cheese, milk and yogurt are just a few that you started.
We took you with us to vote during the provincial election, and following that we took you for your first ride on a swing. You giggled and flailed in this way that we love so very much and since then have thoroughly enjoyed every swing ride that you've had.
You helped your daddy with some yard work and fell asleep in the midst of it, your dad adored this.
Your daddy had a job interview, which lasted 2 hours during which I had to keep you entertained in the car-it was interesting and I can honestly say I hope to never have to do that again! You just wanted to explore and search and were so limited in space.
You are a bonafide crawler, you have even figured our a way to speed crawl when you get really excited about something and want to move towards it rapidly. You started clapping and you have become quite vocal and say dad-da and ma-ma with a bit more clarity now, as well as a multitude of other sounds.
On the 18th of May I walked in to get you after your nap and found you standing all on your own. I will admit I did cry a little at that moment. Your daddy came home right after that and seeing you achieve that milestone helped him forget a rough day at work.
For the May 24 weekend we headed out for breakfast as a little 3 person family unit. I love time with just the 3 of us. I know these times are so very special and there will only be so little time with just us 3.
We then headed to Grammy and Grumpa's and helped them put in a new stone patio. We also got a new boat and therefore a new life jacket for you, you did not love it!
You now have 7 teeth (4 top and 3 bottom). Your toothy grin is heart melting.
You have made our lives o much more enriched my roe-lo.
I love you
