These are just some random shots from the last couple days. It's hard not to just keep the camera in my hands all day, because every time I turn around, he is doing something new. I swear I'm not really one of those moms who is convinced her child made and ordered the universe, but he has a way of making the mundane glorious.
He reached for blueberries in the grocery store today and started eating them. He suddenly became an expert at pinching cheerios and pieces of turkey between his thumb and pointer finger and shoveling them into his mouth. He starts bleating when he sees his sippy cup, because all of a sudden he knows what to do with it. He can turn the light switch on and off. He spent ten minutes of his bath trying to eat the strap of my watch and then decided to practice spinning around on his butt and drinking out of the cup we use to rinse his hair. And yet, when he's tired, he is still my baby, just wanting to curl up in my arms, drink, and fall asleep.
It's kind of crazy. People told me it would go by fast, but I had no idea. It's bittersweet. But mostly sweet. See exhibits below. : )
Cody was being so "helpful" in the kitchen that I broke out the mixing bowls. So much fun to clang, and as an added bonus, you can see yourself in them.
If you're really quick, you can crawl to the fridge while Mom's back is turned and take stock:
Mmmm. Parsley. But if you're still hungry, you can eat Mom's shoes.
