In two short months we will be celebrating Jack's first birthday. It's amazing how the time can go by so fast, but at the same time it's hard to imagine a time without him in our lives.
He is Mr. Personality now. He has smiles for everyone, but is a little weary of people he doesn't know. He says mama and dada in context now which makes my heart melt like nothing else. He will be busy playing, and then remember me and crawl over to me as quickly as possible while saying 'mama' over and over in a deep growling voice. Not to sure why he growls when he says it, but it's pretty funny to watch.
He will take a few steps between us, but then realize he's doing it on his own and quickly sit down. He practically runs around furniture though. He's absolutley obsessed with stairs and makes it his mission in life to catch someone leave the gate open and climb up the whole stair case at lightening speed.
If I catch him getting into something he's not supposed to, I will say "Noooo Jack" He will turn around and look at me and say "Aaaauhhh" as if to say who me?, I'm not doing anything. He will then go back to what he was doing while laughing hysterically.He is a little trouble maker and I love it. I adore his mischievousness.
He loves stuffed animals and blankets. He will spend ten minutes rolling around on a blanket and he loves rubbing his face on them. He sleeps with a fuzzy soft blanket all snuggled into him.
He is such a sweetie, and we love him with all our hearts. I feel kind of sad that he is getting older, but I also really love how life gets a bit easier at this stage, and one year olds are my absolute favourite age, so I am looking forward to the coming months too.
Also just wanted to share a picture of Claire's new hair cut. We're lucky that Claire's grandma cuts hair, so when we went for a visit today, she gave her a little trim. How cute does she look with her new hair style?
