Getting Ready

Oz has a birthday coming up and I can't believe that he is almost one year old. Time has just flown by. He now stands up (holding on to something of course), crawls like there is no tomorrow, and is starting to do word association. By that I mean he now knows that mama and dada are people and not just sounds. The other day Mike left the living room and Oz followed him to the door. We have up baby gates so that is as far as he is able to go. When he couldn't see dada anymore he began calling for him. It was so funny to see him craning his neck around the door frame and yelling "DADA". Soon we will be having a little party here for him. We are expecting only a couple of friends and some cousins. The theme of course is Halloween and we are getting excited for it. I will have to learn how to put some pictures on here so I can post the party. I going to make him a pumpkin cake and I think I will be starting to make it three days before the party. I am hoping that it works out well. On another note, Oz is doing so well in daycare. Today he waved goodbye to me as I left. It was like "okay mom, see ya later, got things to do." I got a little emotional to have him just wave instead of cry for me when I left. I guess it had to happen sometime. I dread him getting to the age where he is embrassed by me in front of his friends.
