So I am a big slacker blogger and have been having so much fun enjoying Espen that I have completely neglected my blogging duties. Espen is growing like a weed. He is really going to town with walking. He took his first steps shortly before his birthday, and every day he is getting better and better. He mastered walking in shoes today. :) I am so proud of our baby bear. It took a while to catch him walking on camera (he seemed to be really shy about it at first), but here is a little video.
He is quite the chatty one as well. He doesn't have any real words per se (except Mommy and Daddy, which he mastered a couple of days ago), but he definitely has something to say. We say that Espen speaks Ewok. :) I guess he has been so focused on motor skills that he is just now getting around to figuring out the whole language thing. (Although he has been babbling like crazy for months.) He loves putting things in and taking them out, pushing buttons (particularly on remotes and phones), and likes stacking things. He can make a 4-block tower, which, my baby book tells me, is advanced for his age. :) I'm such a proud mama.
At his 1 year check-up, the pediatrician said that Espen is doing great and very healthy. We have switched him over to cow's milk except for morning and nighttime feedings and he seems totally cool with it, except he prefers it slightly warm. He is eating mainly table food now, with only the occasional jar of baby food. That will end as soon as we deplete our stores. :) He seems to like just about everything except ham.
He is obsessed with the dishwasher and has figured out how to climb onto the door. Great.
He is still an adorable sleeping babe. An adorable sleeping babe with his butt in the air. :)
