New found independence
Do it himself attitude
Helping me with a few things
Laughing to make us laugh
Kisses and hugs when he wants to give them
Saying Dada when we get home
Running from his bath to be funny
But! he is still our baby:
He still needs his naps
He still wants to nurse
He still needs help with almost everything
He still craves Mom's attention
Cedrik has grown up so much in just one year. I know that this next year is going to fly by even faster. Especially since we'll have baby number 2 in December. We have a lot to look forward to but passing time means that Cedrik is getting older. I have a love/hate relationship with time. I love seeing Cedrik grow and develop, learn new things but at the same time I hate that he's getting older and needs me less. We have such a strong attachment that makes me appreciate the moments that I get to spend with him alone. I appreciate that he still wants to nurse and lay beside me because at this point I think he's doing it just to "check in" with Mom and make sure things are still where they ought to be. He learns so much every day and is a sponge with everything that having those few moments a day helps us both to regroup.
I feel like he understands so much more than I imagine he does. He has deep "old" eyes that seem to say he knows it all. I appreciate his independence and his attachment. I am so thankful that Heavenly Father has given us this wonderful boy who has tried us a lot in this past year and has helped both Jordan and me to grow as parents and as husband and wife. This year has been a trial and it has also been the greatest blessing I have ever been given besides Jordan.
Now for the fun part--cake pictures!

This was the best food he's eaten.
He ate it ALL (Homemade banana cupcakes and chocolate frosting.) and then had a bath!
