ONE YEAR OLD
Wow! Where has the time gone? A year ago we added Elliott James Currie to our family and it's been an amazing ride. It's been so much fun to watch him grow up and form his own little personality.
He is really starting to comprehend some things...like bed time! :) We now have to "ask" Elliott if he's ready for bed by pointing to the crib and saying "Elliott, are you ready for night night?" Often times we get a whimper back, but occasionally we get a slight grin, a reach towards the crib and a response of "nigh nigh."
We dropped the bottle about 2 weeks before he turned one and we had absolutely no issues...thank goodness! He started using a sippy cup at meal times around 9 month, but never really liked them. He can't get enough of his sippy now! You ask him in the morning if he wants milk and he smiles and laughs the whole way down the stairs to the kitchen.
He is quite the socialite! I brought him to a work picnic and he stole the show. He grins and smiles at anyone who glances his way. Thankfully he's pretty good with letting anyone hold him because everyone wanted to pick him up and squeeze him.
We had a Mickey Mouse themed birthday party and he loved it! A lot of family and friends helped Elliott celebrate at a nearby park. He got a bunch of toys and enough clothes get us through the summer, I think! He sure is loved! He didn't dig into the cake like we had expected, but I think he enjoyed it. I'm not sure he actually got to the cake? It looked like all frosting to me! :)
Mark and I can't wait for what the next years bring!
