You are able to make some animal sounds: lion, horse (you raise your hand up in the air), snake, cow, duck
You know your eyes, nose, teeth, and ears
You have started climbing on things, like the coffee table
We have the Christmas tree up and you are fascinated by the lights.

September 2009
9/2/2009
- A couple of weeks ago you were hiding your milk and your toys in a pot in the cupboard. (look for picture to post)
- Last night the 3 of us were hanging out in your room and you started pulling your socks out of the drawer and putting them in one of your toy baskets. Once it was full you dumped all the socks onto the floor. Then, dad asked you to put them away and you picked them up and one by one put them back in the drawer.
- You can now say: "shoes", "clock", "socks"
- You can point to your nose and teeth and high to the sky.
- You give kisses by turning you head and putting your cheek against my face, letting me give you a kiss.

- Your first airplane ride: trip to Denver for Ben and Heather's wedding. We were on the same plane with Jeff, Kristi, Toby and Mile. You stayed awake the whole flight. You played with the air conditioner vent, and you flirted with the baby girl that was sitting in front of us.
- When we got to the car rental place we were standing by the car and I was holding you and all of a sudden my foot was getting wet. Somehow, you peed on me!
- You slept in the hotel all nights while we were there.
- We went swimming. Friday you seemed really clingy and didn't want to let go of me at all, but when we went on Saturday with dad you seemed much more comfortable.
9/20/2009
- You said "happy", your first 2 syllable word
9/26/2009
- We went to Bear Lake on an ee retreat. We took you down to the lake but we thought we were going to be hanging out on the beach. I thought it would be too cold to even touch the water, but the water was shallow and it was late enough in the day that it was warm enough to walk in. You walked in the water and aplashed and fell and played in the sand. You really enjoyed it!
9/27/2009
- While at Bear Lake we drove up Bloomington Canyon and hiked to a glacier lake. Unfortunately, since we didn't have a backpack or baby carrier Dad had to carry you the whole time. But you did really well and it was good exercise for dad.

- You are walking all over the place
- You haven't had a bottle in about 2-3 weeks.
- Your favorite word is "hat". You are fascinated by hats and the hats that dad has hanging in his closet, and you point to your head.
- Grandma Stephie taught you "cookie", so you can say that too and you know where they are.

- You've started to point at things.
- You like to pull all of the clothes out of your pajama drawer.
- You like to play with the diaper pail, yuck!
- You'll take steps here and there with a little help.

Today you opened the gate at the bottom of the stairs (which wasn't locked) and walked/crawled/climbed up the stairs by yourself.

CJ-
You made both me and your dad laugh until we cried tonight. You spent the day at Grandma Steph's since your dad and I had a very long and intense Engaged Encounter meeting today. It was past your bed time when you got home, but you seemed full of energy. We took you upstairs and got you ready for bed and you walked back and forth between me and dad. I think this was the first day that you took more than one or two steps, you actually seemed in control. Then you decided to pull your shorts out of your drawer like you sometimes do. You would pull a pair out and throw them on the floor and dad would throw them back in. But then I think that you thought it was a game because when you'd pull a pair out you'd wait for dad to throw them back in and then you'd laugh hysterically. This went on for quite a while. We were all laughing. We just can't imagine what our life was like without you. You bring so much laughter and true joy to our life. We love you more than anything!

Happy 1st Birthday!

Christopher-
Happy Birthday! Today is your first birthday. I can't believe it's been a year since you were born. You have really grown into your own little person with your own personality. You aren't walking on your own yet, but you zoom around the house, walking and pushing your alphabet train. You are so happy and I'd like to think that it is mostly due to the fact that I stay home with you, but something tells me that I'm really the lucky one here. I am so blessed to be able to stay home with you and watch you grow and play with you. You make me smile so much. You know, I have been outside more in the past few months than I have in the past 10 years because I want to do everything I can to make you happy and it turns out to make me happier too. We have to both thank Dad for being so supportive. I think we're a happier family unit as a whole. I love you so much and I'm so proud to be your mom!
