Vince's 1st Birthday

Here is a slideshow I made for Vince. His birth was a miracle for me. But, regardless of the way he came out, he is still a miracle in and of himself.

Everyone says this, but I really can't believe that Vince is a yr old. It truly has gone by so quickly. Here are some things our chunky monkey can do.

•  He is learning to wave and point.

• He can say Mama, Dada, and Hi! (a new word just in the last week or so)

• LOVES to be held up to the light switch to turn it on & off.  Even if he's crying he will instantly stop and get a huge smile on his face if he sees the light switch. It's easier for him to turn them off than on.

• LOVES to be held up to pictures hanging on the wall. I ask him, "Who's that?" as I point. He smiles when he recognizes the face. Either Jesus, him, Azure, me, or Daddy.

• Has been eating table food for the past month

• Has clapped a few times (not consistent)

• Has 4 teeth (2 on bottom, 2 on top)

• Can pull up to his knees, not a stand yet but at least his knees :)

• He can gracefully go from lying on his back to sitting, to crawling and reverse

• Mostly army crawls but, will get up on hands and knees when he stops momentarily. Seems like he thinks he can crawl faster on his belly.

• Loves to eat bananas. He can eat a whole one in one sitting.

• Is starting to like Baby Signing Time more but, has yet to do any signs

• Nurses 4-5x a day, sleeps about 12 hrs straight at night

• Drank whole milk for the 1st time today and chugged it. Now, I'll gradually start weaning him to nursing 2-3x a day

• Loves to flick his finger against his teeth.

 Look at my 2 top teeth!

We just had a low-key family party for him today. I made some banana cupcakes with a banana glaze as the "cake". And we opened presents sent from family. Thank you family!
