All in a year












Sean is officially 1 year old now.  I cannot believe it!!!!  Where did my little baby go?  Sean is a little boy now.  He's starting to have strong opinions and will voice them as necessary.  He loves going to class at Gymboree. (thanks Aunt Ali for that one!)  He loves being around other kids his age ( or at least his size).  He's still off-the-charts in the height category and 75% for weight.  This kid is TALL!!  

The latest big development is that I've realized he understands much more than I thought.  He walks right to the books when I ask "Do you want to read a story?"  He goes straight to the door when I ask "Should we go get the laundry?"    It's so fun to see him understand and respond to something I say.  

He's babbling like crazy.  His current favorite 'words' are "da-guy", "duckkk", "yuckkkk", and of course "momom" and "dada".  

My mom came out for Sean's birthday.  It was so great!!   Makes me wish we lived closer to family.  I will always remember Sean's first birthday as the time I TRIED to make a really difficult cake, so sure I could do it, even though it was my first ever cake.  It was kind of a disaster.  Fondant, not so easy!!!  But it was edible, and actually quite tasty once you got rid of the fondant layer.  It served it's purpose--Sean and Collin got a birthday cake!  For those of you who don't know, Collin and Sean have the same birthday.

I'm looking forward to a trip out West in March.  This time of year in Milwaukee just gets depressing.  Winter drags!
