It’s June

Holy cow, it’s already June! How is that possible? I’m over here trying not to get emotional about E’s upcoming bday. How are all of you doing and how are the babies?

G has his first birthday almost 2 weeks ago. It's so hard to believe he's technically a toddler now.
We've been dealing with a pretty crappy colds for a few weeks, plus immunizations, so it's been an exhausting few weeks.
G has 6 teeth and is working on his first molar 😭. He's still not walking independently, but walks holding on to stuff and let's go when just standing, so it's around the corner for sure.

I hope y’all get to feeling better soon! That sounds like it’s fairly miserable.
Mom called E a toddler the other day and I nearly cried. I love the tiny baby stage.

Yes how is it June?!

Ben turned 1 on 5/15. As the fourth child, he spent his birthday at two softball games for DD and a birthday party for a 7-year-old friend of DS1 who shares his birthday. Everyone did sing to him there and my 3-year-old referred to it as ‘Spencer and Ben’s party’ even though it was really just Spencer’s party. Then my parents came over for cupcakes (they’re in town right now at their condo here).

Ben loves to walk around. He is pot-bellied and bow-legged. He’s also a major climber and can go up and down the stairs quickly and by himself. He does it so reliably that I have to remind myself to spot him. Luckily our stairs are carpeted and there’s a big carpeted landing at the bottom, just in case. Changing his diaper continues to be like wrestling an alligator. I need to get better with switching him from bottles/formula to cups/whole milk. He eats solid food meals but also still takes bottles (maybe a reason for the pot belly)!

Happy birthday to all the babies! Here’s Ben:

What a cute little chunk sdlaura. I haven't given G whole milk yet. I should probably do that soon lol.
We have a small step ladder that DS2 uses when he's helping with cooking or dishes, or to reach stuff in the higher cupboards, and G has started climbing it as well, which makes keeping things out of his reach quite the challenge.

Happy birthday to the babies who have already turned one. It’s crazy to me that my tiny baby will be 1 next week. The weirdest first year of life ever.

V is a water baby. She has climbed into the little pool on our deck fully clothed a couple times now. I finally emptied the water out so she can’t do it again. I bought her a water table for her birthday so that should help with her need to play in water. She’s a little dare devil who loves to climb on things and get into everything. She recently got her 3&4 teeth, and is now working on 5&6.
