Vance is ONE!



I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS! Where did the time go??? I miss him being so little and yet I don't. I love that he can crawl around and be independent. I really enjoy watching him entertaining himself, talking to himself or watching him get frustrated because he's sitting on a book and trying to open it at the same time. He is so fun! Let me list off some things he loves:

1. Cheese
2. Cheese
3. Cheese
4. Reading
5. Everything in the kitchen
6. Toilets
7. Power cords
8. High pitch screaming
9. Skype
10. Playing in the laundry

Things he hates:
1. Peaches
2. Broccoli
3. Green beans
4. Penguins ( hahaha at the monterey bay aquarium we saw a giant fake one and he hated it!)
5. He hates textured things

Things he does:

1. Flaps his arm(just one arm) like a chicken
2. Points to things
3. He knows where his tummy, my nose, daddy's nose, his foot, his tooth, and his hand are.
4. He waves with two hands at the same time
5. He can say he is 1 with his finger
6. He mimics people, especially Daddy and Auntie Angie but the best is in the store when someone coughs or burps or anything, he mimics them! ha ha!
7. He knows to knock on the door when we say, " Knock knock"
8. He can walk with the walker( I did a video to " now walk it out" but it won't upload!)
9. He can eat most food (not egg whites or peanut butter)and he is drinking whole milk.
10. He knows how to throw (he has a great arm!) Watch out Giants, here comes your next player!
11. He can do the touchdown sign with the two arms in the air.

Some new tricks:


We of course threw a big Monster party for Vance's 1st birthday! We had so much fun! Special thanks to Angie for talking to me on skype while I made all the food, that helped a lot!!! Also, Ashley and Jordan for helping with the monster poster, all of our neighbors who helped with EVERYTHING and of course Jordan's wonderful family for helping with so many things too! We love you all:) Here are some pictures of my boy and his friends and family:




We had a table like this but with a red blanket and a purple head... so cool... but I forgot to take a picture!

He loves food. He was a little hesitant at first because of the texture but then he got over it and dug right in and then threw up! Standard procedure when eating too many sweets!


yeah he makes these faces all the time... I don't even know what to say about it. (The red eye thing wouldn't take my red eyes away, oh well:)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET BOY! WE LOVE YOU!
