As the days pass I see so much growth in Baby K. He is no longer my little baby, and is becoming a toddler. He will turn 1 in August and he will share his party with his brother who will be 3 in August. We do plan on having a special day on their date of birth but since it’s hard enough to get anyone to show for ONE birthday party, we figured we better just do the boys party together.

Baby K is now pulling himself up on everything and has been for some time now. He also enjoys taking his hand off of whatever he is holding and slowly removing the other hand, just enough to give Mommy a heart attack and then giggles while he places his hand back on whatever it was he was holding. He did stand for about half a minute, but I missed it – too busy working I guess. Hubs saw it and was having a “proud Daddy” moment.

We didn’t have too many “proud parent” moments when our first born son was a baby, we were too busy trying to keep up with feeding {he at A LOT} and keeping him happy. AJ was not so happy as a baby, making it very hard to enjoy the baby year with him. K is so the opposite, but much like his big sis, happy go lucky and nothing gets him down – except maybe his first ear infection.

This passed weekend I had fun watching Baby K interact with his siblings, yelling, babbling and pulling his sisters hair. I swear little ones just know pulling hair will get a rise out of another person, they are like born with the instinct to grab long hair and pull with all their might. I usually have my hair pulled back but my daughter has super long hair and rarely allows me to do anything with it – easy target for Baby K’s little hands.

I am curious to see when Baby K will take his first steps and say more than “Daddda” and “Mamma”, but at the same time I am in no hurry. Baby K is our last born, no more babies after him for us, which makes me sad but anxious at the same time. I am anxious to see what life without a baby is, since we had our two boys pretty much back to back – exactly 2 years and 6 days apart, we have been doing nothing but raising babies for the past few years!

I am also astonished by how true it is that you are by the book with your first born, and a little more lenient with the second born, and of course by baby number three, you are a pro and anything is fair game! I know that Baby K will have a bit more lead way than my first born, but then again she is a GIRL and I am overprotective of my “baby girl”.

Well I am curious when did your baby walk, talk, etc etc? I can’t recall when AJ did all his first, because like I mentioned earlier I was too busy trying to keep him happy to remember his FIRST’s.
