On May 21st, our not so little man turned 51 weeks. We are just ONE WEEK away from the big first birthday. What a fun week it was!
Social: Mommy got home from her trip which was just awesome! C and I spent the afternoon together on Friday and we soaked up the snuggles. Gram and Granddad came over on Sunday to help Mommy and Daddy get ready for the big first birthday party (aka- power wash our deck and house!). We did a lot of cleaning, organizing and buying! We also squeezed in some park time of course!
Diet: Colin really does love everything we give him. Lots of fresh fruit, veggies and lean protein. We are really pushing the sippy cup and he is doing great! We did get rid of the night time bottle this week, which was much easier than we thought. C doesn't fuss at all. He really was pushing it away after an ounce or two which gave us the indicator that he is ready.
Baby Gear Love: sippy cups! We also have needed our baby gate pretty frequently. C is a stair climber for sure.
Crying: When he's sleepy and ready for bed he gets fussy
Likes: playing with Dutch, signing and dancing and walking with some help!
Dislikes: being tired
Postpartum: I can't wait until I don't have to answer this on a weekly basis (honest!)
Milestones:
C took his first step between Mommy and Daddy and realized he could stand up unassisted! (5/20). It will be any day now that we have a walker
We also did away with the night time bottle this week
Another big milestone is that C doesn't get rocked to sleep any more. We still have our routine (bath, book, "magic words" and rocking) however, he no longer falls asleep in our arms (sad mama).
I am soaking up this baby of mine for the next week. I love him so and can't wait to celebrate his big first birthday but I am feeling a little sentimental!
