11-month day pictures but one day late so I could get some sunlight for better photos. Poor baby just didn't want to take monthly photos today. He really wanted to peel off the sticker, though.
I am so proud of Abram! He was eager to get in the pool today and show off what we practiced at home - kicking! After 4 swimming lessons of moving Abram's legs for him, he figured out what "kick" means and has been kicking in the tub and while sitting on the carpet. Check out his "kicking practice" from february 4th to see the "dry run".
Next we'll be working on putting ears in the water - he squirms and whines when it's time to lay on his back.
Today Abram tried on his birthday outfit. I want him to coordinate with his sock monkey so I think I found a pretty good match, but I want a colored shirt to wear under the overalls. I also need to create a #1 patch for the bib. Off to Michael's for some felt!
Went to Evan's first birthday party this afternoon. Mandee took a cute family photo for us. Abram was very into Evan's Busy Ball Popper... we will be putting that one on his first birthday wishlist!
Our routine has become: wake at 4 a.m., go to the couch and cuddle/ Abram has a bottle until he falls back to sleep. Here's how he fell back to sleep this morning.
Headed to have dinner with the Kitleys and the Baytons tonight. Abram got a million kisses from Reese. The Baytons gave him a new Mr. Potato Head shirt!
Swimming lessons! This was the 3rd week of lessons and Adrian was off work so he could come take photos. Abram hasn't cried once, although he isn't crazy about floating on his back. Today he finally kicked his feet on his own!
We hung out at Natalie and Jimmy's tonight. Abram was being a sweet little guy all evening. Here's Abram with Clark.
Tonight we were hanging out with the Jones family. Unfortunately I forgot my camera, so I will have to update this post with a photo when I get one from Jen. Mason and Abram were having a grand time chasing each other and sharing toys.
