Dempsey's 1st Year:
The Favorites -
Toy: any baseball bat, he drags it around while crawling
Cuddle: his giraffe blanket
Food: this one has a sweet tooth, I think it is mango, he loves any Happy Baby puree as well
Person: Me! I want to always remember how the moment he sees me, he crawls over so fast with
sound effects that can be described as a mix between a laugh, a coo, and audible breathing. If I
am sitting, he will scoot right into my lap. I LOVE IT!
Activity: for the first 1/2 of his life it was traveling in the ERGO, he was so content. Now I would say it is frustrating his brother by intruding in "his" play space. Oh, and he loves the pool.
Dislikes:
Apparently sleep. Still has not slept through the night. Let me remind you he is 1.
Staying in a highchair for more than 10 minutes.
Staying in a carseat
Staying in a stroller (do you sense a pattern?)
Sadly he no longer loves the Ergo unless you are walking somewhere quickly or nursing
Salmon Sprout food (who can blame him, lapse of judgment on my part and I bought it in bulk)
Voyages:
Birth
A cross country roadtrip at 6 weeks old to our new home in Colorado from New York City
California roadtrip
Biggest challenges (well for his momma at least):
this whole sleep thing, I had no idea.
February illness of the family.
Dempsey has already had several ear infections.
Moving with a newborn. I just wanted to cuddle.
Some of the best memories:
Watching the boys play on the floor together
Anytime Dempsey laughs and smiles which is often
Christmas morning all together
Dempsey's lemonade party
Spending hours in bed nursing and sleeping while watching Say Yes to the Dress when Madeus was at school
