Everyday I am amazed at the little boy that is front of me. He has grown so much in this first year and now it seems like everyday he grows by leaps and bound. I continue to enjoy my journey on the parenthood path. Charlie and I reflect daily on how different our lives are now that we are parents. We used to try to picture what our life was going to be like with kids and it seemed so unreal. Parenthood brings something new everyday. Now, we are trying to put our arms around what it is goint to be like to have 2 little people running around our house!
Today, I was going down the stairs with Mr. Independant and of course, he likes to be a big boy and go down the stairs by himself. Well, I looked back and caught him trying to walk forwards down the stairs! He is seriously not afraid of anything! He made it down about 3 stairs and then started to wobble...he then grabbed onto the railing and collected himself and then tried again. My heart probably skipped about 10 beats! No one ever tells you that after kids turn 1, it is a whole different ball game! Determined, tantrums, sneaking things they know they shouldn't have......it's like a switch turns on and all of a sudden you have a different child!
Nico is really starting to understand the world around him.....and let's just say he is really figuring out what he wants! We love our playdates with our friends and we have been spending more time with Charlie's sister Kat and her family. Nico LOVES his cousins Grace and Briah and is a complete ham when we get together.
