3 Buddies

12 Months Old

This little guy turned one year old. Wow, that was a fast, fun year. His little personality is really coming out. But it was a rough birthday. He got cut off of the day-time nursing, which was of course hard for him to understand why mom was around and trying to give him (whole!!) milk in a sippy cup?!?! Then at his one year checkup he was diagnosed with strep and an ear infection and pinned down while they tried to get blood through an IV - HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY! Luckily, his spirits were still pretty good and we were able to celebrate with some friends and YaYa who came into town for the big day.

A little bit about Del at 1-year old:
- Copycat - he sees you do peek-a-boo, he does it. You say 'Peew' and hold your nose and he tries. Usually ends in a lot of laughs.
- Loves giving kisses. Which means putting his lips on your cheek and spitting. Lovely.
- A Walking Pro...On any surface. In fact he's pretty much running now.
- Tough Guy. He has to be. Because a young walker comes with plenty of bloody lips and bumped heads. And he seems to be resistant to pain...I mean, we had no idea he had strep or an ear infection. - the boy was perfectly happy.
- Play any music and this guy will start bouncing the booty up and down as he's a big fan of dancing.
- Says 'Dadada' 'Mamamama' 'Dog' 'Ball' and tries to say a lot of other things. They just all come out sounding very similar.
- Still loves ball, so we gave him a ball pit for his birthday. Think it blew his mind, but he was just too sick to really show it...both him and Audrey have fun making a big mess with them now.
- Loves his dog, his dad and his sister. But his favorite place to be is still in mom's arm.
- REALLY likes a bottle and lives for nursing morning and night. Much harder than his sister to move onto strictly cups.
- No napping for this one, so about 7pm he just MELTS. And it's all we can do to get a diaper changed and PJs on before he's sucking his bottom lip to eat and go down. No nighttime story for this guy. He goes down so easy (unlike his sister still...) and sleeps mostly through the night. Lately, sicknesses have regressed the whole night sleep a bit.
- LOVES being outside. He is perfectly happy just walking in circles around the deck or the car. Or being pushed in his new little trike.
- Not a huge fan of eating most of the time, but he does have a sweet tooth, which we found out when he had a tight grip on the birthday brownie.
- Smiling all the time and makes us laugh all the time! We love you buddy.

The Take Down

Wrestling is something, luckily, both of these kids enjoy. Audrey loves taking Del down and he loves being taken down. I'm guessing it won't be long before the roles are reversed...
