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!  

11 months!!!

I realize it's been a while and I must update

Cruz is six days shy of his 11 month bday. How did that happen?!?

He can walk. No crawling anymore. 

He eats pretty much everything.

String cheese

Frozen yogurt

Yogurt

Peaches

Pears

Blackberries

Goldfish

Animal crackers

Chicken sometimes 

Cookies

Has had cake and chocolate during Christmas

He is sleeping a ton better. Although he does wake up during the night he can soothe himself back to sleep. I'm working  on night weening him. Two nights down! 

His naps are 1.5 hrs twice a day

He's in size 3 diapers

He claps all the time

He hates being on the changing table and just recently started rolling over and fighting me when I put on his diaper. 

He loves taking a bath and me pouring water out of a cup. 

Oh and he just started to play peekaboo where he's finding me which is adorable. 

Cruz is my energizer bunny and I love him dearly even if I'm tired. I know everything is just for a moment. I'm cherishing all of these moments. The good and the bad. They go by so fast!

Every day ...

I am amazed by Cruz. He's walking. He's pulling the blanket off my head and playing peekaboo. He's eating everything. He's laughing and sming like crazy. He amazes me. He is my miricle. I do believe. I love you baby!  

6 am instead of 7

Means mommy is tired. I am on my 3rd cup of coffee instead of my normal one cup. This is my view as I drink my 3rd!
