Happy Birthday to Zander! On Saturday, March 1st Zander celebrated 1 year. We had a lot of family and friends to help us celebrate (I'll post more on the party later). It has been amazing to watch him grow into a little boy. He looks so grown up and seems to learn something new everyday. This last month, he has made a lot of gains with his strength and motor development. He continues to scoot on the floors (he is faster on the wood floors), but is now also crawling on his hands and knees. He has mastered pulling to stand and is becoming braver cruising around furniture where he will move between things to make his way around a room. He also continues to show us his love for climbing and he finds his way up/on/around a lot of things in our home. He has also learned to climb up the stairs! His standing table has become one of his favorite toys. He also loves to pop bubbles and Skype with Grandma and Grandpa Ranum. He will also imitate actions and is starting to move along to some songs and is learning some sign language. He signs "more" (putting both hands together) usually when he likes the food he is eating and wants more food. He continues to be a good eater and likes to feed himself, but now he wants to use the spoon himself too! He is also learning to drink from a cup and is doing well with straw cups now that he is starting to drink milk instead of formula. It has been so much fun to watch his progress over this last year!
Mostly smiles for the 12 month pictures although he continued to be distracted by the sticker on his shirt!
He is still as dramatic as ever!
Parker is still his favorite and luckily for Zander, Parker is getting used to him
He's going in for a puppy kiss
