A couple of firsts...

It was a rough weekend. I was out for two days with a horrible stomach bug. So today I'm cleaning up the tornado that happened while I was "out".

However, there were a few highlights from beyond the couch... We did have a few firsts this weekend with Tru...
- He clapped his hands!!! This may sound strange because I'm pretty sure that most babies are clapping like crazy by about 7 months. Tru was not interested in clapping at all. He never did it. I was starting to think that he never would, but yesterday he clapped those chubby hands together and made me so happy.
- He did the sign for "food" this morning. Have I been diligent in signing every phrase to my little boy??? NOPE... I've been signing food, milk, drink, more, and all done for about a month and this morning he signed food quite frantically while he was sitting in his high chair waiting for his oatmeal. Trent's the one who noticed, and I think that it's convinced him to start signing to Tru as well.
- He took his first step/fall in church yesterday. I don't know if I really want to consider this his first step, because in my mind it's suppose to be a little more of an occasion than it was. He was holding onto the trash can and let go to stand there for a second. Then he attempted to take a step and fell over. Either way, he's starting to stand on his own a little bit and walking is going to be right around the corner I'm sure.

He's growing up too fast.... In a few short days I will have a one year old. So stay tuned for the birthday festivities going on this week in our place. You have your oldest child turn one once right?? Oh boy...
