Dane woke up extra early today giggling in his bed as if to say "Wake up everyone, it's my birthday!". I got him out of bed and he showered me with snuggles and kisses...and then smacked my face;-) Such a little boy. As soon as he saw Dada getting ready for work he pointed at him and started saying "oh, oh, oh, wow!". Dada got a kiss and then it was off to bath time, breakfast, poopy diaper, 12 month pictures, and a nap.
As I get a few minutes of quiet time I'm thinking back to a year ago today. Getting to the hospital, laboring, and then welcoming our little boy to this world. It was an amazing experience. I remember feeling so full of love and wonder for this little baby that was ours.
There isn't a day that goes by that Aaron and I don't say "he is so wonderful". We are so grateful and humbled for the opportunity to be Dane's parents. We are trying so hard to be the parents that he deserves. To show and teach him of his Heavenly Father's love.
Happy birthday munch face!
Dane's stats:
Height- 31 1/2 inches long 97%
Weight- 24 lbs 4oz 75%
He is walking and just today started standing up to walk without holding on to something. I think he learned that from his friend Roan.
He says: Mama, Dada, num-num (food), Uh-oh, Oh wow!, What?, This, and some times "whats this", and "at"-his word for dog.
He will clap his hands when you sing "If you're happy and you know it"
Plays "Peek-a-boo".
He can find your nose when you ask him to.
He got all of his bottom molars and his top left molars this month. Poor kid.
He touched snow for the first time and then cried (he is definitely our son)
Loves, loves, loves bath time.
Hates getting dressed and undressed.
Still loves playing ball and now likes playing with cars.
Has started to hand us things instead of chucking them at us:-).
Likes to share his food and feed it to me.
Is getting really silly.
ADORES his dada. Oh my! Dane's face lights up when ever Aaron enters the room. When Aaron gets him out of the car he giggles and belly laughs. Pure joy:)
Dane was reunited with his best friend for their 12 month pictures! These boys didn't skip a beat. They played just like old times and even got frustrated with each other a couple times! Taking a picture of both of them together has gotten much harder:)
He also can't get enough of his Grampa Christensen. He is the only other person besides Aaron that can get a true belly laugh out of him. He loves his Nana too, but it's all about Grampa right now.
PS- The day before his 1st birthday he fell and hit his eye really bad. He woke up with a nice big swollen shiner. The day before Aaron's 1st birthday he burned his had and had to celebrate in a cast. Like father like son:-)
