A Year of Firsts!
I can’t believe our son is already 1. It’s crazy you guys. I was looking back through photos we took during his first year and smiling at all the funny “firsts” we experienced with him from the traditional (like first bath) to the funny (first FaceTime). Here’s some of my favorites…
First Hug
Just moments after his birth we got to experience the first hug. I gave birth at home and it was a wonderful experience. You can read more about it here if you’d like.
First Car Ride
Since we had a homebirth it was required that we take him to the pediatrician within 24 hours for a standard first checkup. This was his first trip in the car!
First Fashion
While I had a bunch of stylish and dapper little boys clothes ready and waiting, this “burrito” look was the style he rocked for the first few weeks.
First Bath
Absolutely not a fan of the first bath. Or any bath. For a long time.
First FaceTime
Kids and technology man. Here’s us talking from opposite sides of the country. His face cracks me up.
First Trick
TOUCHDOWN! This is still his favorite trick nearly a year later.
First Obsession
Glowing lights. This kid is OBSESSED. Someone gave my husband this glowing egg and our son quickly claimed it as his own.
First Cart Sit
He looks so tiny but he thought he was so very big sitting up in the car on his own. No more baby seats for this kid!
First Pooltime
In the summer we spent a good amount of time in the pool. He LOVED it. Actually, the pool was what made him learn to like baths. Go figure.
First Word
“Mum” which we thought was my name until we realized it was him asking for more food. Oh well.
First Teeth
He got the bottom two in and then the top two quickly followed. He’s been rocking the fearsome foursome of teeth for a while. I’m curious which will pop up next.
First Big Boy Bath
As soon as he could be free in the tub he LOVED bathtime. From his infancy he never liked to be held down or laid back… he wanted to be up and moving around.
First Steps
He took shaky steps for months before finally walking in his 11th month. Now he’s booking it all around the house!
First Halloween
Our little giraffe raked in the candy for his first Halloween. And by that I mean that we raked in the candy after charging an exorbitantly high candy tax. ;)
First Toy Love
He wasn’t a huge fan of the plush toys till he fell in love with his whaleshark. It’s a toy with special significance to his father and I so we thought it was extra cute.
First Christmas Tree
Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday and we get a real tree for it every year. We took the Bubs with us to pick one out this year.
First Word that Wasn't "Mama" or "Gaga"
(Gaga is how he says Dada, it’s hilarious.) His first real vocab word he said all on his own without any prompting from us. He pointed up to the lights in his room and remarked, “Dight” (Light)
First Conference Call
Just kidding. But taking the phone, holding it to his ear and “chatting” was the first grown up maneuver that he copied fully. It’s kind of hilarious. But makes us wonder if we’re on our phones too much. ;)
First Birthday Cake
Happy Birthday Bubs! He got to dig into a double chocolate (gluten free, agave sweetened) cupcake and look at that grin. I’d say that’s the perfect ending to a sweet year.
