One Year Old!
Today is the day. One year ago today I was waiting patiently for the drive to the hospital for my planned C Section at 6 p.m. Did I tell you how Labor and Delivery called me the minute I walked in from having breakfast that morning to ask me if I had eaten breakfast that day? Because if not? They could have taken me at 11 a.m. instead of forcing me to endure a hot summer day with no food or drink and go in at 6? Oh yes, good times. That was one of many snafu’s that took place leading up to the birth of my little man. One of which, I realized last night when he was resting cozily on my lap, I wouldn’t change for anything.
As an official one year old my little man smiles, waves, says Mama and Dada (although not always to the right person..) loudly bangs toys together and can climb two sets of stairs over and over and over and over.
Even though this is my second time around I still like to check the ”baby books” once in awhile to see what I am in for next.
According to What to Expect When You are Expecting - The Toddler Years, at around 12 or 13 months babies may be:
“Using his hands for some very important tasks, including holding his cup, picking up tiny objects, playing patty-cake, and waving bye-bye. ”
All good here, we’ve got those covered. Phew. We are also really good at that game where the baby looks at you, drops something, waits for you to pick it up and then drops it again. He loves to bang his little hands and fists on everything including windows, doors, toys and his brother. Who knows? maybe he will be a drummer one day.
One thing is for sure; I have witnessed so many changes in this first year of life. I can hardly wait to see what happens next. Happy Birthday little man!
What is your one year old or toddler doing right now? Any favorite habits that you want to remember?
