Peter- 1year old

--
WOW, WOW
Peter is one year old. Where did the time go.
He looks so adorable trying to walk. Like a wobbly robot :>)) His face just beams when he stood up by himself and starts to clap.



Unlike his sister at her one year, he attacked the birthday cake. First reaching for the lit candle then swiping the frosting with his feet :>0
It was quite the party, but of course he won't remember or care. His sister and cousins had fun each taking turn blowing out the birthday candles.

More teeth are coming in. Looks like the top two side teeth by the top front teeth.

Because it just doesn't seem plausible that in one short month, we'll be celebrating Peter's first birthday and HOW IS IT POSSIBLE that a full year has (almost) passed??

I know that this first year goes by so fast and I have focused on savoring every developmental milestone - every grin - every belly laugh - every night when I pick him up and hold him in my arms, and feel his soft head on my shoulder - and breathe in his beautiful baby scent.
He is cruising around all of our furniture - and is standing for a few seconds, unassisted.

So, yeah ... my baby is growing up and that first chapter is about to come to a close. But wow, I am so glad to have him and this tale of love has far exceeded my wildest dreams.

You are especially smitten with me at the moment. Whenever I come in to the room, your face will erupt in to a huge smile and the look of adoration and love in your eyes melts my heart, every time. Rest assured my beautiful baby boy ... the feeling is mutual.

Kara seems to be a natural climber. We occasionly take her to the climbing gym. Sometimes she will boulder, climb with a harness and sometimes just run around.

Here is a video of her bouldering barefeet!..what grace..even in a dress!!!
