Someone pinch us! Our baby boy will be ONE in just one more month. He is just utter perfection and impossibly adorable. He giggles like crazy and moves at the speed of light. It's unwise to take your eyes off him for more than a few seconds. He knows, like all good boys at this age, just were to get himself into trouble and he goes right for it. Thankfully, at least for the time being, we are still able to quickly pick him up and put him back in safe zones, ha!

He LOVES sitting in the bathtub like a big boy, playing with bubbles and laughing with his big sis. He enjoys snacking on his crib railing and drools like crazy as he is a teething machine. I counted 4 coming in at once the other day. Wow.

He loves clapping hands and bouncing to music. We are BIG "Tangled" fans in this house and listen to the soundtrack constantly. He loves the song that is sung by the "Pub Thugs" in the movie and lights up and starts boppin' the second he hears the beginning notes.

His fine and gross motor skills continue to improve and he shows us everyday just what a smart, capable boy he is. Next week is a big week. We'll go for another MRI and also meet with a Physiatrist to have him evaluated for braces for his legs (called AFOs for short--ankle foot orthotics.) He does alot of flat-footed standing, but he still goes up on his toes a bit. So if the braces will help fix that, then that is what we'll do. The sooner we intervene, the less likely he is to need assistance further down the road. This year has been challenging at times, but I thank God for the Early Intervention that has obviously helped him so much already. These last 6 months has been such a time of joy and excitement, celebrating all his accomplishments.

Here's a little album of some random pictures from yesterday. Him just being his adorable self and goofing off with Daddy before bedtime. Enjoy!
