My one year old thinks he's communicating. Seriously. I need to get his random babbles on video and post something. But, for now, when he wakes up in the morning, he plays his music, then starts out with "mommie, daddy, mama, dada, dis-statata, dissss-dadadada, bububu, ladada" and on and on and on.
Last night, while sitting in his high chair, it went like this:
Me: Troy, what does the tiger say?
Troy: aaaggghhh
Me: What does the cow say?
Troy: Mmmuuuuu
Me: What does the dog say?
Troy: burf, burf, burf
Me: What does the kitty cat say?
Troy: mmeeeeooo
In the bathtub:
Me and Brian: Can you say bubbles?
Troy: Bu-buul-s, bubu, bubu
That was the first time he has responded on demand to all of them. He did it again this morning.
Troy is still a mover and a shaker. Literally. He walks constantly and rarely stops, he likes to shake his head, shoulders and hips - music or not. Every now and then he will pick up a book, put it on the ground and look at it. Otherwise he's walking around the house with the book while he tries to thumb through the book - mostly running into objects/walls along the way. If we ask him to give us a kiss, about half of the time, he'll walk up to us and give us an open-mouth kiss and say "ahhh" at the same time. It's very sweet but also slobbery and gross.
He enjoys saying "uh oh" and fake sneezing. He will put his hands behind his head and say "achoo!" over and over and over. He likes doing this in Target. I have to thank my nephew, Jake, for teaching him this trick. Troy laughs at himself after he does it, too. Must be pretty funny.
Other words: "wow", "tadu" (thank you), "t-ta" (tick tock).

I made the cupcake appliqued jon jon for Troy along with a matching hat. Although he didn't wear the hat much, I was very excited about figuring out how to make it on my own. I appliqued the "1" and monogrammed his name on it before cutting it all out. Took a good bit of manuevering but I figured it out. 
Those photos are only ones that I took. I have to say it is hard to decorate, host, keep an eye on a toddler and snap photos. More are to come soon!
We wento Goli, Troy's sitter, to have cupcakes on the afternoon of his real big day! Needless to say, this big boy loves sweets!
Another year of perfect feet!
