The Best Things About this Age...

Well, Tate is just over 1 year old now, and he is just SO fun! There's so many good and fun things about all ages of kids, but I thought it'd be fun to make a list of my favorite things he does at age one!!

1) I love that he is a 'lil copycat! He copies us and it's just so sweet (we just havta make sure we don't do anything we DON'T want him to copy! haha)

2) The fact that he points at everything and everyone - and that people don't think it's rude! Only 1 year olds can get away with pointing at people!

3) Watching him learn...learn to walk, learn to talk, learn to eat by himself, learn to go potty, and the list goes ON AND ON!

4) How he still lays his head on my shoulder when a stranger talks to him...it's so cute when they play shy a little bit.

5) I love his dance moves to our music...haha!!

6) Potty Training...uhhh..well...maybe that's not one of my FAVORITE things, but it'll be nice to get rid of the diapers!!

7) His chatter, about who know what...but it must be real important because he is always telling me about everything...if only I could understand what he's saying...I wonder what goes through that little brain of his sometimes. :)

8) When he holds my hand...or snuggles with me - priceless!

9) Being able to wear him in all my baby carriers...and let him ride around on my back and see all the stuff I am doing around the house! He's still small enough! :)

10) That carefree little giggle...the one that thinks that me dropping something by accident is HILARIOUS, or the one that appears when I chase him around the house, or the one that I hear when he gets to be pulled around the house in the laundry basket! haha :)

There are so many more things I love about this age...but there are just a few! :) Every age is precious!!

(If you'd like to enter this contest by writing about your favorite things about your child's age, head on over here before Oct. 15)

I love the snuggles too! Sometimes, Fly will be playing, stop what he's doing to come over to grab my leg (when I bend down to hug him), and then he goes right back to playing. I love it!

I love this list! Since Hailey is the same age as Tate, I'm enjoying a lot of the same things as you.
