I wrote a couple of months ago about how excited I was that my baby took a “sort of” step. Well, now he can walk very well! Okay, he’s sort of wobbly, but that’s why they call them toddlers after all. We actually caught his true first steps on video, which was wonderful because now we can cherish it forever.
It’s amazing looking back on this past year. Actually, it’s been just about a year since I’ve started this blog! There have been so many changes with my little guy and I can’t wait to see what he has in store next. Let’s see, I’m going to list some of the amazing things he’s doing since I haven’t updated in a while.
- He likes to share the crumbs he drops with me and his dad
- He said “dada” first, and says it when my husband comes in the door
- He has not said mama
(lol) - He likes to hold up his toothbrush to our mouths to pretend to brush our teeth
- He thinks EVERYTHING is funny
- He does not like to go to bed
- He is in the 95th percentile for weight and 92nd for height
- He has 6 teeth, and a gap in between like I used to before braces
I’m sure there is plenty more, and I promise to update more often! I’ve had some great, loyal readers over this year and I have learned so much. Hopefully I’ll be able to start posting helpful things as well since I’m a research nut. I’m determined to learn everything I can about toddlers…because they already seem harder (but more fun) than babies!
So, I was downstairs yesterday and my husband had the baby. I was sitting in an armchair and hubby had the baby’s arms as he was kneeling. The little one had hold of my husband’s knees, then he let go and WALKED over to me. It was literally one step, but he did it so perfectly and effortlessly!
It was almost so tiny that I’m not sure whether we count it or not. I really, really think that if the little guy would stop wiggling and bouncing so much he could be running circles around me I was literally in shock and so proud of him.
I think we’ll count it as a novelty, and await the real thing when he really starts to take off!
