Our little boy is a year old (13 months actually, I've been a little lax about updating this blog). He is still the sweetest baby, he wakes up smiling and is generally very happy. He has grown a couple new teeth in the last month or so and has taken a number of steps and gives himself a big round of applause whenever he does something new. Besides playing with his brothers, his favorite things are playing ball, splashing or dropping items in water, it could be lake, stream, ocean, bath or just the water in my drinking glass, it doesn't matter, and exploring the outdoors. He is becoming more and more independent, on a recent camping trip, while we were all sitting around the campfire, he crawled far away to check out the woods all on his own. He doesn't say any real words yet, but is getting very good at communicating and is usually able to let us know exactly what he wants (we hear a lot of "tuka" and "une-dat"!). Arlo is very social and oftens yells loudly to get the attention of a stranger when he feels like making a friend. We're so happy to have this little guy in our family!
Happy Birthday Arlo!!
