The joy of our little boy!

Quick Update

May 9th David took his first step all by himself (stood up by himself and took a step). Then, on May 12th, I picked him up and he walked 7 steps to try and get my friend Dave's glasses. I clamped my hands against my mouth because when David does something new I like to overreact my excitement...which basically just comes out as a high pitched scream. This scares David and he usually doesn't attempt to do it again for months. This happened when David was 1 1/2 months old and rolled over for the first time. He didn't do it again until he was 3 months old.

So, yeah, just wanted to let you all know that he is learning how to walk now and I am so excited! YAY!

First Temper Tantrum

David had his first REAL temper tantrum yesterday. Since we was about 6 months I have been trying to get him to drink from a sippy. I don't know why, but he HATES them and refuses. Well, he is a very now, so I put my foot down to wean him slowly from the bottle. Two days ago I replaced one of his bottles with a sippy. Yesterday he took the first sippy fine, but I replaced yes another feeding with the sippy. I brought it to him (with this yogurt banana juice) and he saw it and quickly crawled away, whining. I said "David, you need to drink this. It has yummy juice!" Well, he threw himself backwards so he was laying down, started crying and screaming, and was kicking his arms and flailing his arms. Now, sometimes he cries when he doesn't get his way, but I have never seen anything like this. I was just laughing and saying "David are you having a temper tantrum?" I know I should have probably not been laughing at him, but I couldn't help it! Well, my laughing sort of had him laughing in between his cries. Well, he screaming really loud and while his mouth was open, I stuck the sippy in there. He tasted the juice and instantly stopped crying and that was that!

David's First Birthday!

I can't believe he is a year old already! His B-day was April 3rd. We spent it at home, just Shaun, David, and myself. The next day we went to my parents house!
