D&T Crossley: Daily News

nmNow that I am caught up with all the holidays, on to the daily events. We have had fun being outside when the days have been warm enough. I kind of forgot that this warm weather is new to Freddy. He LOVES being outside. Oh the wonderful things a little boy kind find in the dirt, and sidewalk. Freddy experienced his first walk to a little park we live near. He was tickled with himself that he was walking by himself. As a car drove past us, he stopped, stared and turned as they quickly passed. I had to remind myself that the walk to the park was a journey in of its self; our street is quit busy.
A little update on Fred's development. At his one year check up (25 January) he weighed in at 21pounds, and 28inches. I was surprised that he only gained two pounds in the last 3months. For the past year he has stayed in the 33 percentile for both weight and height. He has discovered how to walk backwards, which has become his favorite thing to show off. Running backwards is what he is trying now. Hopefully he will realize that running backwards, is not the best way to get around. Climbing is also a knew adventure that has his interest. Audrey's little pink chair is the favorite to climb. He has fallen off multiple times, but that has not stopped him from climbing.
We are just beginning to hear words from Fred. He is quit the babbler. He has many things to tell us through the day, we only wish we understood. He can say up, all done, and dada. He also signs eat, more, and please. He loves signing please so much that there are times I have no clue what he is saying it for. The smile that comes when he hands me something and says please is irrestible.

Here are some pictures!!
