12 months

happy birthday to william!! my baby made it to 1 year.

my favorite accomplishment of this past month is william calling me mama when i ask him who i am. melts my heart every time.

in addition to mama, bye-bye, and hello he also knows the animal sounds to a cow, snake, duck, and his favorite lion. he learned to clap and 'reach for the sky'.

he's mastered the army crawl and loves chasing his balls and cars around the apartment. he can also pull up on things and loves to walk whenever possible. he's holding steady at five teeth.

he enjoys reading and his favorite are lift-the-flap books. he likes putting things in and out of buckets and boxes. he's also fascinated with putting caps on and off and can stack a good block tower.

and his most favorite thing is his zebra.

william we love you more and more every day. we can't wait to see what the next year brings!
