Dane is 1!

Our baby boy is a year old! How can this be?!!! He has been SUCH a joy this past year and is so so so good. He really is too easy and so loving. He is a great eater. His favorite foods are fruits (his #1 favorite is banana), chicken and pasta noodles.  When we put him down to sleep he doesn't protest, but lays down, sucks his thumb and is it out in minuets. He LOVES playing with balls and ball is his favorite word. He also likes books (lift the flap ones especially) and likes ride on toys and bikes. He is a climber and can pull himself up on the couch. He has to be watched because he can work himself up onto tables in a matter of seconds! He will still cuddle which is the best! Today he was saying "ELMO" and I then noticed he was pointing at him on the placemat. He has been catching me off guard these days with his talking and it is just so sweet! He gives us HUGE, mouth open smiles all of the time.  He is very easy going and we just love him to pieces.
