A ONE year old

Tabor you're officially ONE!

It really is true when people say kids grow up fast. I can't believe that a year ago I was holding you as a newborn and today you hardly let me hold you at all because you're too busy playing.

Your newest milestones have been fun to watch. You finally learned to crawl like a normal baby. You still enjoy land swimming from time to time though.

As for walking I'm not sure when this will happen but you do pull up and walk along everything. You're still a little wobbly so it may be awhile. The hard part is you want to walk so we end up holding your hands (or lately just one hand) so you can walk around everywhere.

You say so many words now. I think you can say about 15 words and you like to say them over and over again. Actually you really like to repeat things we say which made us laugh the first time you said "Oh boy" and "Aw man".

You're still taking two 2hr naps which I love. Please don't change this for awhile.

You eat finger foods now. Actually you'll eat anything and everything that we eat. Especially if it's spicy or super flavorful.

You still sleep from 8:30-8:30 yippee - again please keep this up!

My favorite thing about you though is your personality. You are a silly little boy that loves to make people laugh. You love to stick out your tongue and you love to be tickled. Actually, before you go to sleep every night your dad and I attack you with kisses on your neck which makes you laugh really hard because that's one of your most ticklish spots.

We love you so much Tabor. We really can't imagine our lives without you. It has only been a year and yet I can't remember what we did before you were born. You have been such a blessing to us and to everyone around you. We thank God everyday for you and we look forward to all the great memories still to come. We love you little man.

Also, thanks Monica for all the cute pics you took of Tabor. We had a blast with you and Quin and it really means a lot to us that you took and edited all of these. You're amazing and we love you so much!
