Lately.

Lyric is growing leaps and bounds, and I can't believe the little mister will be

a year old in less than two months. In the last few months he has learned so much. He is now crawling, pulling up on EVERYTHING, and falling down everywhere too. A typical boy trying to eat leaves when mom and dad aren't looking, or hey remember that one time I found him eating a green sticky note? Yeah, that. He is eating anything and everything, and lots of it. Totally obsessed with freeze dried yogurt. He's playing independently a lot these days, and I love it!! It lets me get things done, but it also makes me sad for the days where he just slept and slept in my arms all squishy and new.

He is a tiny little thing at around 18 pounds, and 30 inches. Long and lean. Still wearing mostly 6 months clothes, ocassionally some 9 months thrown in. 9 month pants are necessary, because like I said this kiddo is LONG. Our little basketball player. Our favorite thing to do is to ask him questions. We'll ask him where our eyes/lips/nose are, a lot of the times he gets it right and it makes us so proud!

We just love him so much, and I can't imagine him just getting bigger and bigger. I say this about every age, but we are just loving this time in our life right now with him! He understands us, and it seems like he learns something new each and every day.

I'll never forgot the first few days he was home, we were so in love.. but had no idea what we were doing. Now it seems like we've been doing this all along, we have our routine down, we know what works for us and Lyric, and we know how to handle just about every tantrum and madman freakout cranky episode that might happen. He's our baby, we get to teach him - we get to nurture him - we get to LOVE him. Did I mention how much we love him? ;)
