One year old

And the boy officially turned an year old!  A lot has happened in his life and ours.

As they say in my favorite serial – Criminal Minds – “the Unsub is quickly evolving”

From a grape/blob who does not move to someone unpredictable as to what he will do next.

From grunts to protesting loudly and screaming.

From just lying on his back with his face towards his right always to a position where his feet is in my face when I wake up.

From someone who does not bother when I leave for work to someone who starts noticing when I wear my shoes, throws out his hands and expects to be carried. The most painful part of leaving for work – leaving behind that soulful expressive eyes.

From lying down quietly to sitting up and throwing tantrums. Rotating his wrists and pointing to things he wants, especially going outside and going to the kitchen.

From just looking blankly to keenly observing.

From drinking breast milk to eating strawberry ice cream.

The boy is growing…

We had a lunch get together with family and close friends. When the wife fed him lunch, he did not eat much instead preferring to eat from B. Ah and Aa were around as usual and the boy was thrilled. The cake was Chocolate Orange from Just Bakes. The boy did manage to eat one piece and I guess hit a sugar high, promptly fell asleep.

One of our close friends – AA – the sweet couple – presented him with a cute Orao Bearoo Child Sunglass. I didn’t know they made them in these sizes. We put it on the boy and he promptly yanked them off!
