14 Months Old and Cruisin'

Trixie, Sander, Halle, Lucy and Arcadia in Westport

Sander was able to celebrate turning 14 months old in Westport, MA amongst great friends: Nat, Rachel, Halle and Trixie. We enjoyed a couple of days at the ocean and the highlight for Sander was the boat ride Nat took us on. He squealed the entire time and is now nicknamed: seagull boy.

He moves faster and faster with each day, his walking has almost turned into running. Sander said "yes" recently for the first time when Matt asked him if he'd like more mango. No more news words but lots of effort on creating new sounds, especially when he is feeling passionate about wanting something or telling us something. Another tooth took all month to pop through all the way. He now has five! Spinning in a circle is a new talent Lucy helped him to learn. Climbing up onto everything he can has been a past time as well. I can't ever turn my back!

First bitty tooth!

Sander's first tooth peeked out from his bottom gum today! He wanted to enter the New Year with a chomp! He was so sneaky that I didn't even know it was there. Dada and Lucy noticed it while spending some quality time with Sander this morning. Lucy was so excited to tell me it was there! So far so good, no biting on mama.

Update: only 3 days later...tooth number two appeared right next to the first tooth. I noticed it at music together when he had a big smile on his face.
