day at the park.

today we met mimi marti, aunt kelly, and cousins, tyler and vaida, at the park. stetson loved it...he crawled all over the place and really loved going down the slides with me.


he is getting so big! i can hardly believe he will be 18 months old in a week. he was taking more steps last night than i have seen him take so far. he walked from our coffee table to the chair i was sitting in (about 4 ft away). every time he took steps i gave him an m&m and clapped. so hopefully he will keep up the good work and the doctor will be happy with his progress at his 18 mo appointment.

needing a breakthrough.

stetson has been having a little bit of a hard time lately...first and foremost, he is teething...a couple of weeks ago it was his bottom 2 molars and now the bottom 2 eye teeth. he went from teething with his molars to having a cold to having hand, foot, & mouth to teething again. considering all of this, he hasn't been too terrible but we can just tell he hasn't felt good. today and yesterday his afternoon naps have just been getting back to normal. and apparently, thanks to the time change, we'll be waking up an hour earlier than usual until the time changes again. UGH! i'm seriously hoping he'll adjust at some point.

today was my first real experience with him having separation anxiety. his mimi (marti) came to keep him today while i went to work. he was upset when i left but i called her a few minutes later and he was fine...of course. ripped a little piece of my heart out, though. first of many, i'm sure.

he is still just taking a few steps here and there and crawling the rest of the time. tonight he was taking 5 or 6 little steps at a time and once he took 3 steps like he was walking for real. at one point tonight i really thought he was going to take off. i don't think it'll be long.
