Teeth : still just two on the bottom, and four on the top. Poor guys has been working really hard trying to cut some more, but they haven't made an appearance yet.

Milestones/What's new:
- walking. He has realized that he can get around faster by walking than crawling, so he is off! It's so cute to watch him toddle around
- homo milk. Good bye formula!!

Loves:
- walking. You can just see how proud he is of himself - it iw written all over his face.
- as always, eating. He is ALWAYS happy when he is in his high chair with food. Lately, he has been really digging frozen peas and frozen blueberries, they probably feel great on his sore gums.
- his cuddle blanket from Nana and Papa. Nana and Papa have gotten minky cuddle blankets embroidered with the kids names for eahc of the kids over the years. Johngot his for his first birthday and he just loves it! He sucks his fingers and rubs the blanket on his face :)
- being chased. He laughs so hard he falls over - its adorable!!
- dancing! EVERY time there is music on, he stands up, bops up and down and claps! I love it!
- watching Nola and Rob dance.

Mommy loves:
- his crazy curls. They have been extra curly lately and it just makes a cute baby even more irresistable!
- he changing looks. He is looking less and less like Nola and Rob, and more and more Grandpa! It's just amazing to see all the kids similarites and differences.
- listening to him over the mointor. When he wakes in the morning or from his nap, he is happy to play in his crib for a while. Right now, I am listening to him.... 'do, do, doooo!' 'Bah' Haha, so cute!!
- as always, snuggles. I could cuddle this kid for hours on end.
- watching him with Nola and Rob. They are starting to play together and I LOVE it! Last week, they all wrestled in the play tent together. Doug and I coule hear the three of them giggling and it was one of the best meoments of motherhood so far.
- wearing him in the hiking back pack when we walk to preschool. He jumps up and down and laughs! He also peaks around my shoulder. Too cute!


John, you are one!! It is a little bittersweet - definitely more sweet than bitter. I love seeing you grow, seeing you becoming your own little self. You are a beam of sunshine not only to your family, but to all those you meet. I cannot count the amount of times we have been stopped in public so strangers can 'oooh' and 'ahhh' over you, and melt over those big blue eyes and your bright smile. I love you John. Thanks for being my little person.

Halloween party!

On Halloween, we went trick or treating with some friends and then we all came back to our place for a little party. It was so much fun!!!! We played the donut game, where the kids had to eat them off the strings without using their hands. It was hilarious! Euan had it figured out - he would use the wall! Haha. That kid is awesome. We played pin the eyes on the monster and we bobbed for apples. It was an awesome night for friends, family and fun. Happy Halloween!
