52 weeks!!! As in 12 months!!! As in ONE YEAR!!!! I have a one year old!!!!! Oy vey!!!
So as I started my list on Sunday, May 4th, I added that dean was starting to take a few steps on his own. He continued that all day Monday until.... Monday night, we got together weigh friends for cinco de mayo and Reagan was there, who is newly walking herself. Well or of no where, I'm just sitting, reading, and I see Dean walk across the whole room!! I flipped out of course, it was so exciting! So all week, he just got better and better!
*He is also talking a ton more, or trying. He says more please when I ask him to before giving him more food and says thank you, both prompted and unprompted, after I give it. He also says amen, I think I've mentioned that. But Sunday May 4th (I'm almost a week behind) I was listening to a talk and the speaker said something about Jesus Chris, not finishing his talk or anything, and Dean said amen! Haha so cute, crazy how much they are listening already!
*When asked to give it to mama, he will give almost anything to me! He also will find a piece of dirt or something small and bring it to me. So cute! I'm enjoying it while it lasts cuz I'm sure it won't.
*so milk, this week we adjusted to 5 oz breast milk for his first and last bottle, and then his two middle bottles are a 3 to 2 ratio. He is spitting up like once a day and it's very very stinky but hopefully that doesn't mean he has an intolerance. I'm waiting to up the amount until talking with his dr on Tuesday may 13th. (spoiler alert, she said it's normal and hes since, stopped barfing. It was only ever a tiny bit, but enough to stink!)
*on his own, he started saying wow! Its so cute!
*he also does his I dont know hands a lot. But he does it for "where is it", not I don't know. So when someone leaves, or we ask where it is, or he wants to know what that sound is. It's accompanied by his gasping sound.
*Later in the week, he started pointing with his gasp, which he has done a while, but now he does it more and often times his pointing hand goes up against his face. Haha. So cute!! We love it!!
*He gets mad if I close a drawer or the dryer or dishwasher, but if I ask him to help me, he loves it and is fine. I also had him put his clothes in the dryer, he loved it! So cute to have a little "helper" haha.
*he learned how to do mouth bubbles, like where you open it wide. He learned by accident and doesn't do it frequently, thank goodness.
This week was busy getting ready for the party. I went to Peggys and we made cookies and cupcakes, and she helped a TON! I don't know if I could have done it without her. Then Thursday, Bethany and Jennifer organized for dad and linda to come visit Friday! It was a fun surprise! So friday I ran around and made dean's cake and went and picked them up and they helped set up. Saturday morning, more setting up and help, again, not sure if I could have done it alone, as I had to get dean down for a nap and get myself ready. Wow! It was fun but I'm sure glad it is done. Haha.
So his party was Mickey themed, but a classy, vintage mickey. None of the Mickeys had faces, to keep it.classy and clean and streamline. I love how it turned out. KRs parents were both busy with previous obligations so it was mainly just friends thst came. Danny and Emily, Jamie and Andy, Catherine Teng, Kelly Stanley, Susan and Chris, and team jd! We had pizza and salad, then samg happy bday. Dean was just.overwhelmed by it all. He had just woke up when everyone was already getting there, and I don't think he ever quite adjusted. But he was ok. When ever did the smash cake, he was unsure at first, but then I gave him a fork and he had a blast. He didn't actually eat any, but had fun finger painting with the red frosting. We had to take him to the tub after. Luckily it didn't stain any where but one small red spot on his cheek that went away quick. Then he had fun opening presents after most people left. It was so nice. I'm really grateful for all the help and for good friend and especially moral support from family as I stressed about planning.
Later we went to Davidson's for dinner. It was the restaurant we went to last year, after my dr appt which triggered my labor. So I was in labor the whole dinner, intense, but obviously still manageable. So we went exactly one year later, to celebrate and reminisce. It bright back strong emotions and memories. I still can't believe it's been a year! I love reminiscing about my labor.
Ok here are some pictures and then I will pick up from mothers day in the next post.
