Wow I can't believe it has been a year! I think the first birthday is a much bigger deal for the parents than it is for the baby! With Never turning 1 I have spent a lot of time reflecting on where I was one year ago. Getting ready to have a baby thinking I had a lot more time before he arrived than I actually did. Also reflecting on my birth experience. What a crazy and amazing experience that was!
However, times have been big for Never too. I feel like someone just turned on the toddler switch in him. His behavior has changed a lot lately, asserting his own will more and more. He also seems to be practicing getting mad and having mini tantrums. They are pretty amusing now but I am sure he will get pretty good at it over the next year and then they won't be so funny. Another big milestone.... walking! Never took his first steps the day before his birthday and has been gradually increasing the number of steps he takes each day. I would not yet say he is walking. He is capable but his prefered mode of transportation is still crawling.
We had a big birthday party for Never. There were a lot of people who came, many famliy members from out of town. Grandma stayed with us for a week and we also had a good visit with Grandpa, Uncle Jeff, Aunt Sandee and Never's cousin Logan. This was the first time we met Logan and it was a very special treat. He is such a sweet baby but Never better watch out because Logan is a big baby and he will probably some day out grow Never. Many of Never's little friends also attended the party. Never had a good time playing with his friends.
Never had his very own little birthday cake which he probably ate about half of it before it started ending up on the floor.
Thanks to everyone for the gifts. Never has some new toys to play with and many new books to read.
