Growing Up So Fast

Our littlest guy is officially ONE YEAR old!!! I cannot believe the time has flown by. Our precious family is crazy, rambunctious, loving and blessed in every sense of each word. We did not think we would have another baby after 2, but God had another [perfect] plan. He gave us a great pregnancy and wonderful little boy. His first year has been full of smiles, cuddles, tormenting his siblings, and laughs. He is happy, healthy and full of life...we could not ask for anything more.

As you can see he is climbing on everything, but only walking while you hold his hand. He enjoyed all the attention yesterday, however, did not quite care for his cake. He wanted to poke it instead of eat the deliciousness. At the end of the day he was pooped and happy to be sitting on his carpeted floor playing with his new toys.

 

 

 

 

We were able to have a dual brother/multifamily party yesterday. It was great...family...friends...and cake. We got super lucky that storm clouds rolled through to provide overcast and a small shower; enough to cool the hot Houston weather down. And a super big thank you to Nana & Papi for sending over the balloon maker. The kids loved everything she whipped up, from swords to hats to flowers and butterflies.

 

And in 9 days we will celebrate this little man's big day...until then (with plenty more pictures)...Peace be with you!

It is a little surreal that our baby boy is 11 months old today. Hard to swallow that in a month that glorious 1 year milestone will transpire. He is such a precious little man; mellow, loving, energetic, and a smile and laugh that catapults your heart into pure bliss. With 3 of them it is a little difficult to focus on everything that he has accomplished during the past few pivotal months. So I wanted to take the time to highlight what all this precious boy is doing.

Babbling and laughing up a storm saying predominantly mama, dada and nana
Has cut only 2 teeth that popped through less than a month ago













Climbing into his brothers bed all by his little chubby legged self













Transferring objects between hands and to his mouth with great dexterity













Crawling like a speed demon around the house getting into all toys making it impossible for me to keep anything neat


Walking along all of the furniture for a couple of months now

















Standing really well all by himself as of this week, wanting to pick up that right knee (hopefully starting to walk in a couple of weeks)

I know I am biased, but this is one handsome little guy :)  Peace of the Lord be with you all!
