You are the most fantastic child...most of the time. The milestones you hit this month almost make me cry every time I think about how fast you are growing and approaching the bittersweet "one year" mark. We did so many fun things this month: We went to the train festival in Manassas because you love choo-choo's; had a few playdates with cousin Harper before they move to Ohio; said goodbye to your wonderful nanny, Ms. Millie since we also learned we are moving to Ohio (woop woop!); went to graduation parties and playdates; and ended the month with a fantastic vacation with the Dolinski/Gonya clan to Gulf Shores, Alabama (more on that in a separate post, soon!) You are now a baby on the move!! It makes it so much more difficult and funny to try to keep up with you since you go-go-go as soon as you are put on the ground. You started with an army crawl, and by vacation had developed an all-fours race to every toy or object in sight. You are growing into such a little man, and your personality is developing more and more with every face and sound you make. The beginning of the month you were still squealing like you did last month, then you started with babbling and noises that even crack you up! Long gone are the days of holding my "baby"...you just want to be independent, and that's what we are trying to let you do. You love exploring and are so interested in the world around you. It makes everyone around you laugh when they see your "studying" face at first before breaking into a huge smile once you've determined the atmosphere is fun. You make it fun! And we love you sweet boy!
