Sherman Turns 1!

Where has time gone?  Can't believe my baby has been in our lives a whole year.  What a joy this little guy is to have in our lives.  I love his giggles, smiles, and cute little voice saying "hi' to me.  He can say mama and dada, but hi is the word we hear most often.  Sherman is a sweet, tender little spirit.  He loves to try to keep up with his brother and bounce around the house, but he also loves snuggling with his parents (mainly his dad).  We love, love, love when he lays his head on our shoulders and snuggles up for a few minutes.  We also love watching him learn and grow.  He's not walking yet, but he's a track star crawler.   He puts his head down and goes as fast as he can to his destination.  He loves crawling up the stairs and so far we've had no crash landings...phew!


Sherman is starting to voice his opinions more and more.  If he wants something (water, food, or toy) he has a high pitched yell that gets progressively louder until he gets what he wants.  I'm working on teaching him some signs, hopefully the signing or talking will kick in soon.  Sherman is a very good listener for a one year old.  Almost anytime I tell him to "stop" he will.  I try to reserve this for dangerous situations like climbing in the pool or down the stairs so he'll continue to listen.

It seems like Sherman has been teething constantly since he was 4 months old.  He has 4 teeth on top and two on the bottom, but he is always chewing and often you can tell he's in pain.  Hopefully he can get all his teeth soon and be done with teething!

Sherman is a pretty good eater, although he does have a little bit of a sweet tooth.  His favorite foods include:
- ice cream
- jello
- strawberry banana puree
- applesauce
- crackers
- cheese
- broccoli
- and more ice cream

Sherman is a wonderful, sweet little boy and we couldn't be happier to be his parents!  Happy 1st birthday Sherman - We Love You!!
