It has been awhile

The pic on the above left is of M-Baby at about a couple weeks old, and the pic on the above right is him recently at 11.5 months old, both taken in his crib! Look how much he has grown! I have been meaning to write a blog, but oh, how life keeps you busy, and how time flies when you are busy! These last couple of months have been great to say the least. "Can't complain" has been something I have caught myself saying a lot. Because I really can't! Let's see, here are the updates: M-Dad: As you know, got a job in his field. So far, so good. He is gaining valuable experience that will help him in his future career endeavors. He has also been working out a lot, really motivated to get in better shape. He doesn't like to admit it, but he has actually grown to like some aspects of G-Town life. Even though, nothing could replace P-Town of course (life by the beach)! M-Mom: Continuing on with taking care of babies by day, working for my environmental consulting firm by night. I am loving it. Whenever I have spare time, I love love love taking walks outside. That is our favorite thing to do on weekends as well. Walking all around, and we are lucky since there are many great places in walking distance. Especially when it starts to cool down. Thanks to these warm summer nights :) Okay, and saving the best for last....M-Baby! He is doing sooo many new things lately. The major one, of course, is WALKING! He actually started walking between 10.5 - 11 months, and is just mastering it as time goes on. Wow, a whole new world has opened up for him. He wants to explore and discover everything! He has also started talking a little bit (babbling for the most part), he is pointing at everything (his favorites have been airplanes, helicopters, the moon, lights, trees, and anything that makes noise, moves, and is shiny), and he has been mimicking behaviors a lot (he picks up a phone and puts it to his ear, takes a comb and runs it over his head, and things like that- IT IS SO CUTE!!), he has 7 teeth (4 on top, 3 on bottom), and the list goes on. Wow, this past year has flown by. This boy has such a beautiful personality. Being a parent has been the greatest gift. It's funny too, when they say that you get to relive your childhood again. This is true! Sometimes we catch ourselves just being big kids :) Yay for that. So, last but not least, M-Baby is turning one and will be a toddler (M-Kid). Ahhhhhhhh big sigh. This will mark the end of one year with our 1st baby. It has flown by, like I know I have said plenty of times. We are on a continued journey, though, learning and experiencing new things everyday. Every little smile, hug, kiss, word, step is just another blessing. A week from today will be M-Kid's 1st birthday PARTY (and then he will have another party up in P-Town two days after his actual birthday). And just 11 days from now he will be 1. Happy First Birthday M-Baby, our Gift from God.
