It's crazy to think that the last year has flown by so fast. It amazes me that Mr. Golden Locks is one.
He's an adorable little boy with lots of spunk and personality. Whether or not he wants to display it, now that is the question. He is generally pretty quiet and enjoys toddling after his brothers, looking at books and playing with cars.
He has always enjoyed jabbering (at the dinner table mostly) and was the earliest of my boys to start walking (11 1/2 months). He says a few distinguishable words and knows an animal sound or two.
He can say:
* "Dada"
* "MAAAAAM" (not a cute, quiet, or sweet "mama" from this boy). Think of the most annoyingly cute way your child could yell MOM and that would be pretty close to the way Mr. Golden Locks calls me.
* "GAAAAAAAABE" (also said with the same type of inflection as "maaaaaaam"). Apparently he has heard me call loudly for G-McBabe too many times.
* "nigh nigh" ("night night") while he waves.
* "bye bye" (sort of)
* Jesus (just started working on that one)
* He also knows the duck says "quack quack"
He loves his brothers to pieces (when they are not tormenting him) and they love him as well.
When I was pregnant I prayed that Mr. Golden Locks would be the binding glue our family so desperately needed and he has been just that. Everyone loves him very much and he loves us all in return. His birth/his life has been a great catalyst for some much needed family healing.
On to the BIG day....
His party was very low key (Rob and the older three had just gotten home from their weekend trip to Spokane). We sang "Happy Birthday" (with help from family on Skype), he tried to blow out his candle and was successful with a bit of help from his BIGGEST bro G-McBabe, and dug in to his cake (for a few seconds at least). It was fun.
