A little boy

In the last few weeks, Macadam has become a little boy. He's showing us he plays different from his girl counterparts, loves to be rough and tumble and wants to communicate each chance he gets. It's been so much fun to see these changes take shape.

I realized we haven't shared some of his latest and greatest as now that he's past his first year, the monthly updates don't seem as relevant. However, here's a little summary of his favorite things to do and say these days. Probably our two crowning achievements are Mac being able to say please (both aloud and in sign language) and blow his nose in a tissue. Although aloud please sounds more like deezs and he'll blow his nose about every third request.

He's obsessed with these flash cards he got for his birthday as well as blocks. Instead of knocking everything down, he's putting things together too. As for walking, he's taking a ton of steps while holding onto a toy, bottle or the like but has yet to take flight completely without balance assistance.

Here are a few pictures from recent weeks:
Telling you how old he is...
