ONE

I can't believe our little baby is ONE today! The time has serioulsy flown but we've had so much fun watching him grow and discover everything around him.

Some of the things he is doing right now are:

Playing copy cat...we'll stick out or toung or clap our hands and he'll do it right back.

We all love this game!

He occasionally cries when we put him down or walk out of the room. He will crawl over to us really fast and climb up our leg until we pick him up.

He loves to be chased. This is SUPER cute! He'll crawl away really fast and then stop and sit up and turn around to see if we are coming after him. If we get on the ground and crawl after him pounding our hands on the ground he laughs so hard!

He has started to shake his head from side to side like he's saying no, but we're pretty sure he doesn't realize it means no. I think he just likes the way he sees things when he does it. He usually laughs after doing it. Silly little guy!

He has the cutest giggle ever!

He still has NO teeth.

He pulls himself up to absolutely everything and lets go for a few seconds, but is not walking yet.

Some of his nicknames over the past year have been:

Hadie Bug

Bugs

LuLu

LuLu, DooDoo...and on and on with anything else that rhymes with this

Little Fry

Short stuff

Baba DooDoo
