Roman Turns ONE!!!!!!!!!

Roman is now officially 52 weeks old. I can't believe a whole year as come and gone. The past month has been a huge milestone month for Roman. He is talking a lot more-mama, dada, night night, and ba-ba(he says na-na). He has also learned the word 'up'. He loves to look up, especially at fans and wave. We are now working on 'down'. He is understanding so much more of what we say to him. He now knows what the phone is and tries to answer it, when it rings. Thanks to the Jones', he received his own cell phone for his birthday. The biggest milestone of all this month is that Roman is now WALKING! Yes, he is all over the place and it is so cute. He is so tiny and to see him walk around makes me laugh. Check out the video of him walking.

This past month we enjoyed celebrating Roman's first Christmas. It was nice to have Rick's family down to celebrate with us. Roman received enough toys to open a new Toys R'Us store. I am not sure if he knows all what he has since he was more interested in the paper and boxes.

We also celebrated his first birthday this weekend with friends and family. It was so nice to have friends and family from out out town for the occasion. We had a house full but Roman enjoyed every minute of it. He wasn't sure about why everyone was looking at him and singing but that did not seem to matter after we gave him his piece of cake. He devoured the whole thing and than tried to eat the plate it was on. Let's just say, he took a bath after that. Mommy made the cake for the party and the Very Hungry Caterpillar theme went over great with all the kids. We look forward to another great year with Roman. It is amazing how fast they grow and how much they learn. Every day is an adventure and you never know what he will do or discover. Being a parent is one of the best blessings you could have. Thank you all for your gifts and celebrating these times with us. Please make sure to check out our December and Birthday photos.
