X at 1 year...

Happy birthday to my little guy!  He's already a year old.  Wow!  It doesn't seem possible.

We celebrated today with some cake and ice cream but the real party will be this weekend.  I will add that it was a gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, chocolate cake.  Not the greatest cake in the world but I think I over baked it, which didn't help it too much.  However, X dug right in and enjoyed it.  I bought him some vanilla coconut milk ice cream and he really loved that!


X gave up crawling at the beginning of the month...he decided walking was the way to go.  He's working on running but hasn't quite mastered that yet.  We had a missions conference at church one night and when he had a couple of hours to practice his walking skills in a huge gymnasium...crawling was over.


Tooth #8 broke on Saturday, October 30th.  It was the bottom second right one.


For X's first Halloween, he was a chick.  We went to a truck 'or treat at a local church and one of the cars had a couple of real chickens in cages and he thought that was great.  He would have stayed and screeched that them all night, I think.


His vocabulary hasn't grown too much this month...too busy mastering that walking, I think.  But, his newest word is "bite"...or it sounds like bite to me and he says it when he wants to eat what you are eating.



Otherwise, I think it was a pretty quiet month around here for X...busy for us but quiet developmentally.  Jut's dad got diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer a couple of weeks ago...so between Jut's retreat in Colorado at the beginning of the month and spending time with his folks...its been a busy month.  Hopefully, this month will be a bit more low-key.

I have some really good gluten-free cake recipes if you ever need them.
