Can you believe it's been a year?

Tell me about your party plans!

Anyone walking yet?


Mine is not walking yet. Cold #3 as of yesterday. But luckily hasn't been too sick this first year. Really looking forward to not pumping anymore but a little anxious about weaning and making sure he's getting enough food/milk.

Trying to do some handprint Christmas crafts but he's not having it! Foot prints are a little easier, but I'll try again.

My little guy's birthday is at the end of the month, so we still have some time. I haven't ordered invites but I need to do that this week. We're having a Fiesta to celebrate the big "UNO" at our house with family and a few friends w/ kiddos. Looking at decorations and craft projects today.

It's been such a great year. Can't believe how much I love him and that he's only been around a year. Maybe I should finish writing my birth story...

DS started walking last weekend! So cute!

He has been sick a lot. I feel like he always has a cold or is just getting over one. I just keep telling myself that means he'll be sick a lot less next year.

I'm not sure what our plans are for his birthday yet. I hate that it's just a couple weeks after Christmas. I think we'll just keep it small with family and a couple close friends.

It's going by so fast :-(

M's party is going to be at a local pizza place. Fairly small, just grandparents, aunts, uncles & cousins. About 20 people all together. Invites just went out a few days ago.

He's not walking yet. Cruising very well, recently started transferring from one thing to another. (like couch to chair) He's also started briefly standing with no support, 5-15 seconds per time.

I'm planning to reduce my pumping from 3x to 1x per day when he hits one year. I'm nervous about that. I'm not planning to wean yet but DH & I have started discussing it. I was reading weaning stories on LLL this afternoon, I ugly cried in the bathroom after that. I did not expect bfing to be so emotional.

I cannot believe DD is 11 months old today. Just a month away from a year. WTF?!?! Where did the time go?

Not walking but I think she is close. She just has to get over her fear of falling.

I've cut back my pumping to 2x per day. Probably going to go down to 1x per day in the next couple weeks (maybe after I go back to work on Jan 2). Hoping to nurse in the morning and at night for a few more months and the responses to my weaning post gave me a lot of hope.

No idea about a party yet. It'll be the 19th and most likely family at our place. I need to send out invitations soon, huh. Good gravy WHERE DID THE TIME GO?!?!?!?!

We did some Christmas crafts this weekend, too, MamaMaui She loved messing up the hand print in the salt dough ornaments. Cracked me up every time because I can totally see her personality coming through.

Fun post!
My little guy is at the end of jan too! He is taking lots of steps but I wouldn't call it full on walking. His biggest accomplishment has been going on the potty!
He just finished celebrating his first Hanukkah and loved it! My house looked like the new toys r us
For his first birthday we are doing a swim party (Indoor pool heated to 93 degrees.)

Can't believe my baby is going to be one in a month!

celiac- potty already, I am jealous!

[MamaMaui24]

That's aweomse, celiac!

[aspentosh]

I cannot even imagine. The most I can see for DD is she holds 90% of her pee at night and then LOADS UP that first diaper.

I can't believe my baby is almost one. This year has gone entirely too fast.

Lucy isn't close to walking, but my other two were late walkers so I'm not surprised. She is crawling and into everything. Definitely the most curious of my babies.

We aren't doing a birthday party for her other than cupcakes with family.

I'm still not convinced he is really potty trained even though we haven't had a wet or poopy diaper for almost 3 weeks... I'm convinced if I put him in underwear (which I can't find to fit him) he will regress. The problem is he is getting more and more mad when I put a diaper on him.
