The Wheels on the Bus

Since James turned 1, we have not done an update on his milestones and we think it is about time we do because he is amazing us with his new feats EVERY DAY!

• We are 100% on milk now which means more money in our pocket since formula is now a thing of the past.  THANK GOD!

• The weaning of bottles has begun.  We are down to a morning ba ba and a night ba ba with only sippy cups at school.  The morning bottle is about to go which makes us very happy because we are very tired of cleaning those bottles and their 100,000 parts.

• The walking is getting more and more refined - especially since he is in a new pair of shoes.  Don't get us wrong, he is still tripping and flopping to the floor, but he is walking more than he is crawling and he is doing a damn good job at it!

• James spent a successful few days in the care of Grandma Q., Grandpa Q. and Aunt Suzy while we took a much needed trip for our Anniversary.  He had a blast as did the baby sitters.  :)

• Over the weekend, while he was playing with his Fisher Price Chatter Phone, Mommy started singing "The Wheels on the Bus".  He immediately stopped, stood up and started dancing and singing and doing the arm movements.  We were STUNNED!  We sing this song to him all the time and never got a reaction quite like this.  I'm sure daycare plays a part in this development since they sing all the time.  Seeing this is up there with seeing him clap for the first time.  :)

We must admit, this parenting thing is exhausting ~ especially to an active, on-the-go 14 month old toddler, but it is worth every second.
