Our sweet baby boy is officially 1! SO hard to believe how fast this past year has flown. Literally feels like yesterday that he came into our world yet also feels like he has been with us forever.
Macky as everyone lovingly refers to him is one happy little dude. He's got two bottom teeth fully through and he is working on cutting his top two teeth. I feel like top teeth change the way babies look so much so I'm holding onto this little baby face of his! He has been cruising around for a couple months but is not interested in walking on his own at all yet. He has the fastest army crawl in town but over the last month or two he has been crawling on all fours when he's not in too much of a hurry. Outside on the concrete he crawls like a bear to keep his little legs from getting too skinned up.
He gets so excited when Andy comes home but then is pretty much mama's boy the rest of the time. Just over the last few weeks he's gotten a teensy bit more snuggly which is appreciated!! He is not a snuggler at all so I will take anything I can get :). He loves to give hugs and will lay his little head down on your shoulder when you ask for a hug. He also clicks his mouth to make a kissing noise whenever we kiss him.
We think he's intentionally saying Mama, Dada so far, loves to wave. Emma Kate loves to entertain him in the car and they are big buddies :). Caroline does not appreciate him in her space which happens quite frequently. Harper is always there to entertain him and keep an eye on him when I need some help.
He used to LOVE baths but then when he realized he can stand up in there he started freaking out when he'd get close to the water. Somehow we've overcome that and he will sit and play for a few minutes until it's hair washing time and then he's ready to get out of there!
Favorite toys include balls and remotes. If he has a remote and you try to take it from him, be prepared for the waterworks. He also does not appreciate being told no. The other day he was in the TV room and I was in the kitchen and sternly told Rosie no - then I see Mack looking at me through the fireplace and he starts crying. He also does not like his food running out, especially if it's a sweet treat ;).
Speaking of sweet treats, little buddy loved his birthday cake. He had many experiences with cake prior to his birthday so when he saw it he was ready!! Which means I also couldn't get a good picture of him with the cake because he immediately began grabbing and whining for it. We had a little baby shark cake for him as that's the song that always calms him down if he's over a car ride.
We love this sweet boy so, so much and are so thankful for him!! We really feel so fortunate to have the privilege of raising all these little people and know what a sweet time this is.
