Bubba's birthday was very low key, and as you'll see in the pictures, he was tired and didn't want to open presents, he just wanted my camera. He was barely walking at his birthday and is now cruising all over the place and even crawling up the stairs if we leave the door open. He hasn't figured out getting back down the stairs - that is without hurting himself - but it very good and fast at getting up them. He's also managed to master crawling up on the kids beds and the couch, and then crying because he is stuck and can't get back down. He is also, what I'd like to call, a Master Walker in bare feet or socks, you put shoes on him and its a totally different story. The kids must be part Indian because he will remove both sock AND shoes as soon as he can. He always goes out the door with shoes and socks on but by the time we return home, hopefully at least has his socks on with his shoes securely put away in the diaper bag.
He is funny because he's so independent - which is really why he doesn't like wearing his shoes because with his shoes on he isn't able to walk, climb, or whatever as easily as he knows he can without them on. And he gets so MAD at his older brother and sister when they try to "help" him and typically knock him down or do pick him up so he can't go up the stairs.
Anyway, he is strong and healthy with beautiful blue eyes and I'm grateful for every moment I have with him, except maybe when he's crying "momma" in the middle of the night just after I've gone to bed. No, I'm kidding. I love this little man, he has my heart...
His favorite present was the balloon he got for his birthday! That thing floated for almost the whole month - I think I popped it and threw it away to clean up for Buddy's birthday party
Gotta love Neon Food Coloring!
