Arcani Grei is one year old and growing fast! He can reach shelves today that I swear he could not yesterday - Ry says he found his tippy toes. He eats very well. Takes two, two hour naps and sleeps a full night ( 8-9 hours). He hasn't weened off of milk yet - we are waiting until after his surgery. He is not walking on his own yet but does get around on furniture very well. He can speed crawl too :) He figured out that opening and closing his hand at people in the store has an effect. He loves people and they love him - it's good to be a baby. Grei and I (mom) enjoy singing together. I have a melody that I sing and Grei recognizes it and does his part at the end - it is really cute. We went to see Chris Isaak in concert last week (Grei's 1st concert). He lasted the whole way through with out being fussy and he enjoyed dancing and the light show on stage. He also enjoyed visiting with uncle Justin, aunt Stephanie, and Madeleine. Grei's swim class is going very well. He goes underwater and doesn't swallow water or cry - he never did, even from the beginning. During bath time, Grei sticks his finger in the faucet until it becomes blocked enough to spray him in the face - he laughs and does it all over again. We went to Lake Chelan two weeks ago and he was able to go down the water slides with us at Slide Waters but he thought the lake water was too cold. He loved all of his new toys that he received for turning one. When we came back from Chelan, he played with his toys for an hour straight. He grows and changes every single day - it's too much to keep track of but it is really amazing to watch him.
