DADA & BIRTHDAY BOY WAKING UP MAMA

WAKING UP ON HIS BIRTHDAY

AVRUMS IS ONE YEAR OLD

I keep hoping that if I blink again that I will be able to go back and do the last year again because it went to quickly. Every stage he grows into is my favorite stage. He is truly a gift from God and the light in our eyes.

He had a great last day as an infant. We woke up and had breakfast. Then we went to Music Together and saw a few of Avrum's friends. We went to lunch with Dada and Andrew. Then we hung out at Yaya and Baba's house the rest of the day. We went for a little walk while we were there, to a Harbor Park about a half mile away. Avee rode in the stroller then we played. On the way home he walked pushing the stroller the WHOLE way back (except crossing the streets of course, Mama carried him for that)! He walked a Half MILE!

He also had a few sips of chilled Organic Goats milk. He really liked it! So yea. I don't think he is ready to give up the booby yet. Maybe when he starts walking he will be ready to ween.

Well Good Night. Tomorrow is a wonderful Day! Avrum's First Birthday!

REPEATING WORDS

Avrum's new favorite word OPA! So cute that is all he will say today.

AVEE'S GROWING UP!

There is something new and exciting everyday!

• We know he can wave Bye-Bye but does not do so very often.
• He says Hi, Dada, Baba and Bana (for Bath) but only when he chooses to do so.
• He also says whole sentences of gibberish but you always know when it is a joke bacause he finishes by cracking himself up.
• He points at Mama's boobies when he gets hungry.
• He loves to feed himself solids.
• He has figured out that if he lays down on his tummy he can get closer to whatever he is trying to look at or get into his mouth.
• On Thursday his eighth tooth cut through.
• Two weeks ago he got a trim to tide him over till after his first birthday for his first big boy haircut from Cynthia Lurie (Georgeanne's Cousin.)

There is so much happening everyday. It is amazing!
