12 mo Observations

* Andy finally learns to say mama the evening after the 20081012PlayDate where Sophie babbles mamama and he babbles dadada back and forth for a while. We've been practicing "mama" for a couple of weeks, and he finally got it that night after some learning from his peers.
* He goes from crawl to stand up position much more frequently (child-proof house time).

First Birthday

It feels like not so long ago when Andy makes his dramatic entrance into the world and it's been a year already! It is sunny off and on in the morning and rains harder as the afternoon goes on. Andy spends some fun time at the Seattle Public library.

Sleep Routine Progression Illustrated

Sleep habit development last month illustrated:

"Good morning" grin delivered standing in crib: oh so cute


It turns into the "Let me out" cry from the Prisoner of the Cage


To "I'm taking over the bed now" big stretch in the morning now
