Where does the time go?

Cruz is 11 1/2 months old. His first bday party is next weekend. I am amazed at his spunk, humor, adventuress, and playfulness. He loves his buddy Brielle. They are partners in crime. He is obsessed with climbing stairs. He puts everything in his mouth even if it's gross. He can't wait for his brother and sister to come over so he can play with them. He loves watching Tayton play basketball and is determined to figure out how to make it into the goal.  His second word was CAT for Mikey (2/12/14) since his little furry friend seems to be a toy for him that he loves. Mikey doesn't mind the attention either!  He can't wait for Daddy to get home from work. No one can make him laugh as hard as his Dada. I can't believe my little baby. He used to just lay there then I blinked and now he won't sit still. He loves food: Mac and Cheese, chicken nuggets, all Ellas Kitchen, bananas, pears, cheese, cheese its, goldfish, animal crackers, yogurt. I am researching monessori schools and Mother's Day out programs now. I would like Cruz to start something soon although so far I haven't found the best fit for my little baby. As I sit upstairs in his playroom watching him run from one toy to another I realize that each moment I have with him is precious and ever changing. Some day, probably sooner than I think, he won't play with me upstairs. I used to be worried about everything now I feel like I've chilled out a bit now that he's older. Yes I'm rigid with his naps but will allow for a later one in the afternoon if we have something fun that I know he'll enjoy. I'm learning to take it as it comes. Life with babby is easier now that he's a little older. I blinked and he went from a newborn to a toddler. 2/28/13 changed my life forever.  I wouldn't have it any other way!
