Gouverneur turns one today and I have mixed emotions about the whole thing. We have enjoyed every single minute of this last year. Gouverneur is such a happy baby. He literally smiles all day long. He is also very silly and loves to make us all laugh. He is adored by two older brothers who love to give him hugs and kisses. Dellin calls him, "My baby".
This is what turning one looks like around here.
Gouverneur loves to do "downward dog" which he does about 25 times a day. We love it and laugh and finally got it on film.
His toes and feet are so insanely cute.
He loves to ride in the dump truck. I love that he fits in it.
When he's not riding in trucks, he's pushing them around. Pushing a car around is a serious right of passage for a little boy. Now he can really get in on all the car action with his brothers.
He loves to do "so big". He sticks his chubby little arms in the air and smiles.
Anything he does is always followed by clapping. Let's face it, he knows he's darling.
The cutest thing he started doing last week was folding his arms for the prayer. Melts my heart!
He stands but has not shown any interest in walking. Sterling Henry and Dellin both didn't walk till 14 months so we'll see if he beats them. I never encourage walking with my kids. I love the baby crawling mode and walking adds so much more trouble to the mix. I do love it when they hit that mark, but never feel rushed about them getting there.He has 8 teeth.
He loves to mimic all noises.
He dances.
He loves to throw things but especially balls.
He loves to play Patty Cake and give high fives.
He can say, "mama, baba, ball, gaga (I think for grandma?), and the occasional "dada". My boys are all daddies boy so I'm sure he'll master "daddy" in no time at all!
He loves to give kisses and makes the cutest kissing noise!

Happy birthday, Dellin! I'm with you on the walking thing--they have their whole lives to walk, and crawling is so cute:) The picture of him in his dump truck reminded me of this song: http://www.e-yep.com/songs.php?id=69
