Mauer is one.

I  have been dreading this for about 12 months. He is getting to big to fast. 

I never could have imagined how much i would love being a mom, there are some days I (think) I want something more then I think for 30 seconds and realize there is nothing better out there for me.

 I get to spend my days with the happiest, cutest, most loving little guy, how could it get any better? 

Mauer at 1--

*Walking like a champ (started at 10 months, mastered it at 11)

*Favorite toys are balls and cars

*Loves to go up the stairs, and down the stairs. repeat 10 times a day

*Absolutely lights up when he sees his Dad

*Has had at least 1 bruise on his legs since about 5 months. All Boy

*Started dancing whenever music comes on

*Happy about 99.99% of the day

*8 teeth

*Jibber-Jabbers all day

*2- 2.5 hour naps and sleeps 12 hours a night

*Does Patty Cake and "marks it with a M" on his hand SO CUTE!(thanks Grammy Jacobson)

*Loves to be outside

I could go on and on. There are so many things I don't want to forget about this little lovey. He is truly the biggest blessing in my life. 

We spent his actual Birthday at the park with cousins and had BWW for dinner with Dad. 

Mauer had a "Monster Bash" party. It was so much fun, all of the hard work was worth it. We had about 25 kids and 20 adults. Talk about a Par-Tay!

i've never met a baby with as much energy as this little dude. he is ALWAYS on the move, from 8am till 8pm! pretty sure that's why he is so skinny, and i am exhausted by noon!

some random pictures of my sweet boy!

this is the life

 little buddy took a 3.5 hour nap, i got a little worried after 2 so i went to check on him. 

pretty sure he was having the best.dream.ever.

he melts my heart daily

i love love you mauer!

9 months

this guy is 9 months (well now he is 10, but 9 at this picture). he is the best baby ever. he is always happy and full of energy. some things i don't want to forget about this little lovey...

* 4 teeth
* says "mama" and "dada" clearly
* loves music
* still wearing 3-6 mo clothes
* taking 2, 2 hour naps
*still waking up 1-2 times a night 
*loves to read books
* crawls faster than i can keep up with
*loves to go on walks
*thinks his cousin jack jack is the coolest person ever

*done with baby food, just wants "grown up" food

*still mostly bald

it's amazing how much fun it is to hang out with a 9 month old all day. i never get sick of it. we play all day, listen to music and "dance" around. i only wish time would slow down so i could soak it all in a little more. 

and a happy new year

we spent new years at the motts, josh and nikki joined us. the kids had a little new years party with games and prizes then once the kids were in bed we played some minute to win it games and some card games. the left, right, center dice game was the best. nikki, aaron, and i all won 30 bucks (each). lots of fun, lots of food. 

papa with his kiddos

haha- such focus. 

getting together with family is always the best. i wish there was a holiday every month so we would have an excuse to eat way to much crap and stay up way to late. i am so lucky to have such a fun family that gets along so well! love them all!!
