In the blink of an eye...

My boy turned one. Really. It's like he was born, I blinked, and he was six months old. Then I blinked again and he was one. Now he' sitting on the floor beside me trying to figure out how to simultaneously open my purse and disassemble the door. Since I haven't updated in a while (forever) I thought I'd catch you up on some of the things Bryce has learned (with some random pictures to keep you reading):

1. Stats: weight: 22 lbs, 1 oz (50th percentile); height: 30.5 inches (85th percentile)

2. He says, "Mama", "Daddy", "Mammy" (for MaMaw), "Abby" (the dog), "baby", "puppy" ("puh-puh"), and some strange version of "airplane" which sounds like something between "Abby" and "apple".

3. He's still not walking or standing alone but he's balancing on his knees and letting go for brief moments while standing so it won't be long.

4. He's eating everything in sight and drinking from a straw.

5. He makes sounds for the puppy, lion, monkey, cow and horse.

6. He's pointing and trying really hard to whistle. And can stick his tongue out on command.

7. He can tell you where your nose it but not his own.

8. He understands "no" but doesn't always obey.

9. He loves swimming in his baby pool and riding horses and toys.

10. He loves giving hugs and blowing kisses. And he still flirts with all the ladies.

A big thanks to all (five) of you who kept checking back. Hopefully, now that life has slowed down a bit, you'll be seeing more regular posts. If you'd like to see the ridiculous amount of pictures we took at his birthday, click here.
