Gage's Birthday

I can hardly believe that Gage is already a year. Was it really a year ago that he was just so new? It only takes a few days to feel like you have known them forever, and that life is hard to imagine without them. Time has sailed on. Time sometimes goes by in such a hurry, that it becomes a blur to me. That is one reason why I love pictures. It helps me to remember. Looking at pictures of my kids and Steve really brings me joy. In a year's time, my baby boy has grown up. It is so true that babies don't stay babies long. Rock them while you can!

He can walk and talk.
He can make a kissing noise and blow kisses. He likes to play peek a boo.
He says "Thank you" and "Love you" (they sound the same). He says "mama" and "dada" and occasionally it sounds like he is saying "Zac". He is repeating more and more things.
He is a great eater and has been from early on. He is still nursing. It's my thing that I do to compensate for being away some days at work. It's my time with him, and we both love it.
Anyway, he is trying to keep up with Trevor and is adored by Jenna and Zac who are always good  to him.  He loves his mommy and his daddy. He is always happy to see us.
He kind of growls at the dog in a playful way.
He is a magnet to the stairs.
He loves to play with his daddy.
He loves the park, esp the swing.
He loves french fries and almost any fruit, especially raspberries and grapes.
He is now forward facing in his car seat. He looks so big and has become more demanding now that he can see me.
He is at least 23 pounds and has at least 8 teeth... which reminds me, he needs a well visit!
