My dear sweet Lars, I wish I had thought to write little updates about you months and months ago, I’m sure there was always a lot to say about your development back in those early months, but now that you are one month shy of a year old, you seem to be growing and progressing at lightning speed. This month, you started pointing things out in your favorite books “Find the butterfly Lars” (points to the butterfly), you identify moving parts on toys, “Ring the bell on the schoolhouse, and spin the propeller on the submarine”, you know mommy and daddy very well, but also your beloved grandparents. You are a CHAMPION of peek-a-boo, waving goodbye when someone leaves or even mentions leaving or arriving, and so many people have offered you high fives this month that you are starting to give them when prompted. You sing yourself to sleep when we drive in the car, love picking and eating blueberries (and dandelions!!) out of the garden, love dancing with mommy, being in water, seeing daddy when you wake up and when he walks through the door at the end of the day, and most of all, you love to talk at all volumes. You whisper (occasionally) which is adorable, but if we’re somewhere with a hint of an echo, your volume “goes to eleven” and you are a screaming howler monkey until you get tired, or we are all laughing and yelling with you.
Which brings us to this month’s onesie… If you are not familiar with the Spinal Tap’s “This one goes to eleven” quote, click here. I liked this concept for a baby onesie and sketched out a couple of amplifier dials during ONE nap time. Quick and so fitting for this month.
Here are a few photos from our backyard onesie shoot.
Rocking out with drumsticks…
Barely fitting on the baby quilt I made you…
Eating the dandelion petals…
Oh my cuteness, this is my favorite update ever! LOVE the onesie, love hearing about what he is up to and the pictures are darling! Love you, Lars! XOXO
Wowzers, that is one cute kid. And I have three boys of my own, so I know what I’m talking about! Love this onesie. xx
