Freddie is ONE

We had Freddie's "party."  He ate vegan chocolate cake with coconut carmel sauce and coconut whipped cream.  IT WAS DEVINE.  He ate all of it.  He is the best eater.  He eats more than Cedrik at each sitting.  His eating greatly improved when I decided to finally let him feed himself.  He does a fantastic job and I always forget that babies figure things out so well on their own.  He is a happy baby.  He likes to talk over people.  He doesn't like kisses from Jordan because he can feel the scruff but everytime he hears the garage door open he starts saying "DADA" and crawls to the door.  He loves his dad. He also loves Cedrik.  They laugh a lot together and he is starting to take the punches he recieves very well.  He is thinking about walking and will walk holding on to something.  The few times he's let go he face plants.  He is a mess all.the.time.  He is almost always sticky or wet or dusty or shmeggy.  I wonder if he will be like this forever.  I kind of think he will.  He will balance Cedrik's OCD out.  He loves to snuggle and he loves to smile at people in church.  It is really cute.  He LOVES his monkey blanket and truly cannot go to sleep without it.  If it is on the ground anywhere he will so sit by it and rub his face all over it while smiling the whole time.  He also loves to laugh at the blanket.  He is wonderful and we can't believe it's already been a year.
