Today, we are a month away of celebrating our baby boy’s very first birthday. It’s unbelievable, but yet it feels like he’s been part of our lives forever… or at least much longer than the 11 months he is today.
This past month has been WOW to say the very least. We are so proud of our little dude, he has accomplished so much this past month:
- On the 28th of May he gave his first few steps, on the day of his Christening a week later he walked another 3 – 4 steps and a week after that he has started walking full-out.
- He has learned to “ta” – hand things over when I ask for it. He’ll even pick things up from the floor and walk over to hand it to me when I ask him and point. Clever, clever little punk 🙂
- When I call him on his name, even if he is another room, he comes to me, as fast as his little legs could carry him
- He started to clap his hands at last! He is so cute while he dances and claps and jives on his music.
- He understands so much more, it’s amazing how fast he grasps a concept.
- Jamie also started to talk a whole lot more, and a whole lot makes sense, his current favourite word is baba, then he also says mamma, pappa and he took my dad off guard the other day with an “oupa”. He also says “ka”, still trying to figure out if he wants to say “kat (cat)” or car, but I think it’s kat, because he is totally mesmerized by our kitty. The other adorable thing he says is “E-ko”, meaning Ek kom (I am coming) when I call him.
I am really enjoying this stage my babe is in right now, he is cute as a button and so loveable, I can’t begin to say how many times a day he puts a big, fat smile on my face. I receive so many impromptu hugs, I just love how he puts his little arms around my neck and just hold me. This little guy is my life.
Happy 11 months, Jamie-Jame.
Mommy & Daddy loves you, we will always love you and we’re oh so proud of our little boy
Keep on rocking this world 🙂
M O N T H L Y U P D A T E :
How old is Jamie now?
11 Months!!!
What his favourite things to eat
This month he is still going through his yogurt stage.
Also he loved his chicken & veggie dish and butternut pasta bake
Flings and Marie Biscuits will stay in his favourites list 🙂
What milestones has he reached recently?
The biggest was walking, so proud of my boy
What words does he say regularly?
Mamma, Pappa, Baba (see above)
How many toofies?
Still 8, that eye tooth is still making its way through
How does he sleep at night?
Still not well, we do a lot of co-sleeping. Slowly but surely starting to do sleep training, the comfort ladder method, but it’s slow going, because this mommy’s a softy when it comes to her boy.
Weight & Length?
Just over 10kg, haven’t measured recently
What has been your highs for the past couple of weeks?
Jamie had a beautiful christening and that’s a big high for sure.
My hubby’s first Father’s Day – we had such a special day together.
My little one holding my hand when we walk together, in his sleep sometimes or when he wants to get my attention, that’s so sweet… I love holding hands with him.
What have been you lows for the past couple of weeks?
Daycare – I have trouble with his caregivers sticking to our routines, they keep trying to force their routines on him and it just doesn’t work like that.
Just as we got better we both got sick … again. I can handle being sick, but I hate it if Jamie isn’t feeling well, I feel so helpless
One cutie-pie thing?
There’s so many, but one of the cutest things recently is he is starting to share his food, when he eats a rice cake or Flings he will offer you a bite or just casually shove it into your mouth – hey sharing is caring 😀
Something Surreal?
Looking at my “baby”, just a few months ago he was a helpless little babe only capable of crying, pooping and drinking milk, now he has developed in this little kid who talks (or tries to), interacts, dances and walks around the house… it’s incredible and I’m amazed by him
Something to look forward to?
A special little boy is turning 1 in a month’s time ~ Whoop Whoop!
