I'm one year old - tomorrow!! Mommy asked me to do the blog entry today since we're planning on heading to Dallas tomorrow morning with Grandma and Grandpa H.
I'm not walking on my own quite yet. I still like to hold on to the furniture. Daddy doesn't think I'll be walking on my own til February, Mommy thinks it will be mid-late January. We'll see who is right.... I can sit up from laying down now and I can actually crawl on my hands and knees - but it's just so much easier and faster on my belly.
I jabber lots. I like to put things in boxes and bowls. I can stack one two blocks. I tend to get frustrated when I'm tired cause I know how things work - but I just can't manage to do it on my own. I don't mind getting my diaper changed like I used to, and getting dressed isn't quite as bad. I love to open and close doors. I also hold out my hand so I can touch things - I like to touch everything!
Daddy does a good job with brushing my teeth - but I think I do a better job myself. I'm still fascinated with watching Daddy get ready for work.
Mommy and Daddy are only giving me a sippy cup at snack time for right now - I like my apple and pear juice. Some days I like to eat more than others. I'm doing a better job at eating things with my fingers - just last month I wouldn't touch bananas or carrots - but I'm okay with them now. My favorite foods are fruits and breads. I do like carrots and sweet potatoes, though. I heard I was getting a cupcake today - I'll let you know what I think of that!!
I love to be around people and watch what's going on. I still get up around 6am, nap at 9:30ish and another nap around 2ish - although, it's not uncommon for me to just play in bed and forgo that nap. Mommy wants to know if anyone thinks I'm trying to go to one nap a day??? I go to bed at 8pm - 7:30ish if I didn't take a nap.
My favorite shows are the intros to Curious George, Sid the Science Kid, Reading Rainbow and Between the Lions. All I like to watch is the openings to shows - that's okay with Mommy and Daddy. I love my books! I like to "dance" to music. And I think Mommy and Daddy can be awfully funny sometimes.
I love my Mommy and Daddy lots. I also love having Grandma and Grandpa H. here, too - they're lots of fun!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MATTHEW!! WHAT A GREAT DAY, INDEED!!
I HOPE YOU LOVE YOUR CUPCAKE!
Wow...one year old! And he still fits into that little outfit...amazing.
Could be that he's trying to move to one nap a day. Zoe still takes two and she's 17 months old. But I think after Christmas we're working to moving her to one. Try putting him to bed at 8PM and down for a nap at 12-12:30 (or after lunch). You'll know after a week if it'll work or not. We do 8PM-8AM sleep at night, 10AM nap, 2PM nap. Works for us, but every baby is different and some need less or more sleep.
Hi Sweetie....you truly ARE fun to be around. Mommy and Daddy are soooo good with and to you. One year old! What a year this has been...Mommy's cupckaes for your party and the party were fun! Lots of neat gifts, too, from Grandma and Grandpa Edwards and Uncle Steve and Aunt Sherrie, Casey, Jared and Josh - and everyone else! Such a popular boy you are! We LOVE you lots....
Happy Birthday to my friend Matthew! I hope you liked your cupcake better than I did...I only liked the ice cream! Hope you have a fun day!
Your buddy,
Caleb :)
