Zander is 1!

So his first year has past. Man it just flew by. Aside from taking a few steps, he still prefers crawling to get to his desired location. He's on a free-for-all when it comes to food, anything goes..... at least once. But no mac and cheese or hotdogs for this boy. Favorites included chicken, grapes, yogurt (especially mommy's special yogurt/granola/fruit concoction), banana, and potaoes-cooked just about anyway. I guess it could be worse, oh and icecream when he can get it.
Looking at him makes me want another baby, he just grew too fast. He's so anxious to catch up to Tristan, wants to do anything he does and be anywhere he is. But I guess that is the idealation of a big brother. Most often Tristan loves to have Zander play, engages with him and all. Then there are the time he doesn't want to share Daddy jungle gym or Mommy's lap. It's these times we try our hardest to explain sharing and what being a big brother means.
Vocals are still a hit and miss depending where you rank on the Zander-needs-o-meter. Daddy is a big one, Tistan, kack (cat), no, Mommy (when in desperate need or desperately tired), and Woos Woos (Blues Clues). Ahh yes the beloved Blues Clues. Can be my life saver some days.
Yes this year has flown by. My baby is now a toddler and I long for the days of an infant sleeping on my chest. Zander will still catch a nap on me if given the opportuniy, of course he is a lot heavier and less delicate, but my baby he will always be.
