I really love this 12 month stage too! In the past few weeks he has become such a little man in a baby body. He babbles entire conversations and half formulates a handful of words. The obvious ones are Mama and Dada, but he also tries to say brother which I love! As he is babbling you can hear the influctions in his voice and it sounds like a real conversation. It cracks me up because I had forgotten that stage. My sister and I used to talk about how cool it would be when Fritz and Micah could actually hold conversations with us. It seemed so far off (like reaching driving or drinking age did). Now that we are there I forgot how cute the early babbles are!
For Olly's birthday we had a football themed party and followed it with the Superbowl. Everything went really well because I had amazing help from Mark, Mark's parents, my sister-in-law Jenni, Heather, Cat, Mindy and just about everyone at the party! Olly got great presents from all his generous guests and Fritz is enjoying each and every one of them!
Our friends, Mike Krause and Heather Skonberg, both took awesome pictures at the party for me. Here are some of those pictures!
