Howie the Monster Turns 1!

Fist bump! Howie had his first birthday yesterday! It was pretty much a normal day because we are so busy this week that we are going to celebrate next week.

Don't worry he's one he won't know the difference.

Things got real a little over a month ago when Howie started walking and FYI he is getting pretty much awesome at it. Yesterday we let him and No-eye out of the house for a little while and Ryan got his momentum going on the inclined driveway. He ran pretty fast for a toddler of his height and experience...then he fell flat on his face (Don't judge, he's going to be a track star someday!)

 GRRRRRRR is Howie's fourth word after baba (bottle) papapa dadada (this is used for dad and/or grandpa) and mamamama (mom). Grrrrr is also Howie's favorite word. If you ask him what the dogie says he growls, "GRRRR" if you ask Ryan what the cow says he growls, "GRRRR" If you ask Ryan what Grandma says he growls, "GRRRR."

You get the point.

Ryan's only present, so far, was a pair of monster jammies. They are slightly too big and after toddling around the family room in them for a while the bottoms get left behind. Last night when I dressed him in the new monster jammies he sat on the floor pointing to each monster growling. I have the cutest babies ever. I would be doing a huge favor to the world by having 20 more, but I'm tired.

Happy Birthday Howie!!!
