Lane’s first year!

I am going to start by saying my child is so full of expression and sass and has been from day one! Our whole first year was crazy, watching him grow and learn new things every day. From rolling over to sitting up to trying real food! The whole time mind you we were getting sounds from him that just radiated sass, almost as if he were too good to be dealing with our shenanigans. I loved every minute of it, even when my PPD tried to tell me I didn’t. Slowly but surely Lane became Alex’s best bud, even now and its the cutest thing to see. During his 1st year we moved to an apartment in the middle of May, sadly the air conditioning had gone out the second we moved and we had a baby living in a 90 degree apartment.. ( we live in the south, humidity is everything!) we ended up uprooting once again to stay with a relative so he wouldn’t over heat. The management company wasn’t in a huge hurry to get things fixed so this lasted for over a week, but baby man kept us in our spirits, always giggling always doing something, crawling around fast as his little legs would let him. Finally we got to settle in. What a relief. Now to continue with our lives. Alex was working full time and I had just started a new part time gig. It was nice, it allowed time with bubba and time away. ( Don’t lie, sometimes a day away is nice). The next few months Lane really picked up his crawling and really started to try to stand, those little wobbly legs just didn’t allow it. We began to think he would never walk!! Irrational I know but, we were new to this, we had know idea. Finally when he was approx. 11 months old he WALKED all by himself all the way across our living room! We were so excited, we felt like he was winning gold at the olympics! But oh boy we were not prepared for what that meant.. No turning around and going back, our little baby was on the run all of the time, always yammering about something and always going on journeys. Which led to no more sitting down for more than a minute for mommy and daddy! It also meant that at his birthday party he got to “chase” everyone he could see. Which leads us to the end of our first year with Lane Alexander. My once small sweet crying baby, was well on his way to a stinky,sticky toddler that I loved/love so much. Even his little baby feet were getting stinky, but that’s a story for a different post. I hope I haven’t lost you yet.. Stay tuned:)
