How old is Anthony?

Yesterday my littlest turned one.  We just did a little song for him...He was amazed by all those voices directed at him.  The camera got left at church last week (Please please be findable!) so I don't have a photo, though some sisters took pictures, so maybe they'll be forthcoming.

Anthony and his cousin Will have been so cute to watch together...we'll miss him so much now that he is returning to VA.

At one:

Anthony is taking several steps, falling, then standing back up and walking again.  So he is making that transition from toddler to walker.

He is in the 22nd percentile for height and 33rd for weight.  He is not one of my bigger babies!

He says some words...Hi, dad, uh-oh, Lillian, ba *(sometimes means 'bye').

He opens and closes his hands when we do 'Sunbeam' or 'Popcorn popping'.  He is very excited by his musical contribution.

He loves to clap and laugh.

He drinks only cows' milk, and lots of it!

He likes to eat our table food, and in the tradition of my kids, loves sweets and fruit.

He is completely essential to us.
