Our baby boy completed his first year a couple of weeks ago! We still say his age in months since a 12-month-old and a 23-month-old are such different creatures that they can't be lumped into one group. Two seems to be the magic transition point for going to the next bigger category. 7 week-old babies become 2-months old, and 23-month old babies become 2 years old. Following this pattern, for a couple more years, I'm going to say that I'm two decades old.
Eston is hilarious. His facial expressions and babbles are progressing, and he loves to laugh. He has been on the verge of walking for several weeks, but he's been resistant to let go of our hands. Sometimes he would take a few little steps and then plop down to crawl. Today, he made a lot of progress and walked about 20 steps across our family room, slowly to make sure he kept his balance. He's observant and is starting to imitate. He reaches for the garage door button and wants to push it himself. He playfully shakes his head "no", whether he means yes or no. And today, he mocked Randy's and my coughs we've had for a couple of weeks. Eston made a little hacking noise and then giggled, several times in a row. He also likes to pick out books for us to read to him, and he's very opinionated about which ones he likes.
Here are some recent photos of Eston eating birthday cake, walking with Daddy, and meeting a little owl named Goliath at Amicalola Falls State Park where we spent Thanksgiving.
