Happy Birthday Monkeyman!

Well my little boy is 1!  I can't believe it has already been a year since we were blessed with such a loving, determined, adventerous and handsome young man! As I look back over the year I am so proud of my monkey- he let's nothing stop him and I hope this is a trait that he takes with him throughout his life!  Watching him grow and learn has amazed me, he has also taught me so much.  Through our journey with clubfeet I have learned not to underestimate him, to give him space he needs tp learn new things (even when they scare me- remember my kid has learned to roll over, crawl, climb stairs, walk and run while wearing his boots and bar) as well as the snuggles he needs when his attempts don't get the results he wants.  His smile and laugh are so contagious; he has brought such happiness to our lives!  I love how whenever he hears music (even if it is only in his head) he starts to rock out by headbanging- no idea where he got this from but it is so cute!  I love how he tickles me!  I love how he snuggles!  I love how he just likes to go go go (even if there are times I would love for him to sit still)!  I love everything about my monkeyman!  I look forward to seeing what the next year will bring for him.  Here are a few pictures I took the last couple days of my big guy. Oh how I love this boy!

Cake smash pictures

Well Monkeyman is going to be one soon!  I can't believe my baby boy's birthday is fast approaching!  A silly and popular thing to do is a cake smash- you basically set a cake in front of the birthday child and let them go at it while you take pictures.  It was so much fun!  Definately glad there was 2 of us though to keep the mess down :) 
I will let the pictures do the talking! Sorry there are so many

11 months old!

Wow I can't believe my little man is already 11 months old! 
He is still surprising me with what he is learning and doing all the time.  A few weeks ago he started walking while holding onto anything he can push along the floor.  He now is an expert at doing it with his boots/bar on too!  I will have to post some videos when I get a chance to get them off the phone.

I did a photo shoot for monkeyman's 11 month today- we had alot of fun.  He is badly in need of a haircut- which will happen this coming weekend when his Aunt and Uncle come to visit.  Could be interesting as he hates sitting- I'm sure his Auntie is more patient and has a few tricks for squirmy kids :)

Monkey man now says - momma, dada, nana (banana), all done, wawa (water), he pants for his puppy, and there are a few more that I can't think of right now.

Here are a few pictures of my 11 month old little man!

And a few from a few weeks ago

First Easter for my 10 month old monkey!

Things have been busy here, the weather has been nice so we have been getting out for nice walks, monkey man loves his new trike!  He is still a go go go kind of boy and does not like sitting still so any travelling is tricky, some times he surprises us and does amazing but then the next time not so much.

Well I'm a bit late but decided to post some pictures of monkey man that I did just before Easter. Taken the day he turned 10 months.

Such a bad mommy this month- his 10 month picture with his stuffed puppy was taken almost a week late.  Oh well he is still 10 months at least!

                                                 

Not much else to write about- we go back to see Dr.Joughin in a week and a half.  Will need new shoes for sure by then.  It is just a check up to make sure his feet are still looking good after going down to night/naps for wearing his boots/bar.
