The reality of a one year old..PICTURE...

[liya]

I cant believe it i just cant. He looks sooo big.....All of the sudden he has started babbling things that we can all actually understand clearly...Today his thing was "WHITEE and TAZ" our dogs...LOL He kept on reapeating and reapeating it was hysterical.....His love for animals clearly shows..The first thing he does in the morning when he wakes is go up to the dogs and say hello....He actually mutters something like "nenoias" which would be "Buenos Dias/Goodmorning.." LOl it sounds sooo cute...
But the reality of it all is that it seems as if i closed my eyes one day and opened them and what did i see....I saw a BOY not a BABY but a BOY......And my face just went (WOW) on me as if for some reason i wasnt expecting it...

I guess its all part of the wonders of life...

Linda-

He is just gorgeous!

I completely know what you mean about seeing a boy and not a baby. The other day I was looking at Sophie and she's definitely a toddler now :(

Happy Birthday Ari!!!

Ari is so big! Our babies are growing up right before our eyes into little boys...where on earth did the last year go?!?! I love when everyone posts pictures of their babes!

Now I can see how your beautiful boy lifts your spirits when you are down. I feel the same way you do. I can spend the whole day just watching Liam explore things around him. It does go by so fast!

Hope you had a wonderful first birthday and thanks for sharing the pictures!

I can't believe how big he is or how grown-up he looks! Cherish the "quiet" time you have now...once they get into toddlerhood, it is ALL over!

Ari looks adorable!

[parkersmama]

What a sweetheart! And it just doesn't seem possible that he should be starting to *talk*! Is he calling you by name yet? Always melts my heart! Then, of course, I do have days where I tell the boys that I'm ready for them to forget my name! LOL! "Mama, he hit me! Mama, I want a snack! Mama, he stepped on my toy! Mama, he took that toy from me! Mama, I want a snack! Mama, I want to watch a show! Mama, I want a snack!" well, you get the picture! :)

Oh, Linda! Ari's such a little man now...you must be SO proud!

I was showing Mia his picture and she kept touching the bottom one and offering him her Cheerios. I think she's in luv...

[jmofarrill]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Rashmi! Anwyn saw him FIRST! ;) LOL

Nice to see my little, handsome baby is turning into a little, handsome toddler! Anwyn is sooooo enchanted, she's even paying less attention to Genki at daycare now! LOL

[sweetbasil]

What a cutie you've got there, Linda- you're right, he looks like a little man! Precious!
