Okay, so we’re almost at 13 months now. I’m a bit behind. I blame viruses and bacteria. Anyway, Sean turned 1 on January 27. We didn’t have a huge celebration seeing as how all family is far away and we don’t really have family friends here either. So just the three of us. We had […]
Sean’s first molar (his front bottom left one) finally erupted in mid-January. It was a rough journey. For about a month, he was in on-and-off tooth pain, and we swore for that whole month that the next tooth was just a few days away. Except for the very first tooth, this molar was definitely the […]
Sean has always liked the sounds things make. He’s exploring music more and more these days…
Just a couple weeks after the first step, Sean was walking around without even thinking about it. He wasn’t always steady, and he fell regularly, but he could also walk and walk and walk without much help. Here he is on January 15.

On 12/31/2010, Sean took his first unassisted step. On 1/1/2011, Sean took his first set of multiple steps. Within two weeks, he was walking around the library, starting and stopping at will, standing, looking around, choosing a direction mid-walk. He was squatting to pick things up off the floor without holding on to anything. And […]
Sean likes airports. He likes them a lot. (Which was a good thing over vacation because we spent a lot of time in them, as all our flights were delayed.) Airports are the biggest playgrounds he’s seen, complete with interesting objects, lots of people to smile at, and — ooh! — escalators.
