1 YEAR OLD!!!!



WOW.  This has been the fastest year of my life.   I can't believe Mr. Amazing is one already.  People always tell me to cherish every moment because it goes by so fast and I honestly do cherish every moment and it does go by so fast. Otto is just so fun and wonderful and he makes all my minutes and days and weeks and months joyous.   I love that little guy.  Anyway, let me get on with what Otto's been up to now that he is one.  He is drinking whole cow's milk now.  He hated it at first but after maybe 3 or 4 days he developed a taste for it and loves it.  He still does not like water no mater how much I try to get him to like it.  He took his first step a day before his first birthday.  Gram and I took him to Traveltown (which is where the picture of the 3 of us was taken) and he was looking at all the plants and took his first little step to get closer look at a purple flower.  It was pretty exciting!  We got professional photos taken of Otto by our good friend and photographer, Mike.  He got some terrific shots despite Otto's initial shyness.  The photo of Trevor giving Otto a bottle is one example of the photo shoot.  Grandpa Ray and Grandma Deidra came to visit for Otto's birthday.  They brought him a little talking dog that he loves and we were able to personalize what he says to Otto.  We went on some great walks, ate yummy food, watched Otto do cute stuff.  It was such a memorable and fun weekend.  And the next day was Halloween!  Otto dressed up as a monkey, Trevor went as a lumberjack, and I was a cat.  Otto laughed when he saw my whiskers and ears.  We went over to Ross and Agnes' and had a great time playing with Ella, Hudson, and all the other neighborhood kids.  Otto didn't eat any candy but he got his first taste of hummus and that child was hooked!  Now it is one of his favorite foods and a staple in our refrigerator.  And the final picture is Otto at his birthday party with his friend Hailey.  She is a month older than Otto and is already a wonderful share-er.  They looked so cute together I had to add this photo.  Well, I can honestly say that this has been the most new, full, and exciting year of my life.  Having little Otto around makes life better!
