Okay, I am a little late in posting this, but I can’t believe that my little man is now 1 year old!   Where did the last year go? (He was born September 27, 2008).  I will be honest, part of me is kind of glad that we are done with the new born stage of things.  He was a sweet little guy, don’t get me wrong, but he is a very high maintenance little person and now that he can be a little more independent, it makes things a little more bearable. 
Here are a few facts about Gagey I thought would be fun to post:

-What time does Gage typically wake up? Anywhere between 7:30-8:30.
-On a good night, what time does Gage go to sleep? 7:15pm.
-What’s Gage’s favorite show?  Backyardagan’s and Peep
-Gage’s Favorite Food? He likes lots of different foods, but he LOVES chicken nuggets when I let him have them.  As snacks he LOVES grapes, yogurt melts and gold fishies.
-What’s my Favorite thing that Danny does with Gage? When they sit down and play with Gagey’s cars and make car noises.
-What are the 5 things that make me smile while being a mom to Gage?
A. The way Gagey grabs and hugs me when I get him out of his crib in the morning, or from a nap, or when I’m on the floor at his reach.
B. Listening to him make car sounds when he is playing with his cars.
C. Hearing Gage call out, “Mam! Maaam!” when I am not in his sight.
D. Listening to him sing and watching him dance when music is on.
E. Listening to him babble, as if I actually understand what is coming out of his mouth.
F. I’m pretty sure I love just about all of it!
-Favorite pastime with Gage? Going swimming with him.  This kid LOVES the water, and is a little water bug.  He gets so sad and upset when we have to leave the pool.
-Favorite quality about Gage?  He is such a little goober, but melts my heart with his smile and hugs and little voice.
-What’s a scary or heartbreaking moment you’ve had with Gage?  Anytime he has to get shots breaks my heart.  But when he was newborn and had to be admitted into the hospital for a few days.  That was pretty sad, and I felt like the worst mom because he was there.
-Gage’s favorite toy:  He LOVES his cars.  He’ll turn anything into a car.  That and his mom!  He loves to crawl all over me!
-Favorite “game”: Emptying out all the drawers as fast as he can, upstairs.  He’s getting pretty fast at it.
-How many teeth does Gage have?  He cut 8 in 3 weeks, when he was 6.5 months old.  He has 3 of his 4 molars now. So total 11 teeth!  He’s a little vampire, too!
-Words and phrases Gage says: Mam (mom), Dad, Baba (bottle), whasat (what’s that), no, yah (yes), hi, bye, hot, stop. 
-Trade mark: His scream/cry.  They can pierce your ears.  And even Micah knows Gage’s cry/scream when he’s in another room at church, and we are in the hall.  It’s that bad. Haha!
-Does Gage have a ‘lovey’?  Well besides me, I’d have to say his blankets that Aunt Camber made him.  Micah loves her blankets, and it looks like Gagey loves his, too, now!

And of course, here are a bunch of pictures of his little birthday party.  We didn’t really have a party, but just cake and ice cream with some friends (The Bowen’s and Blue’s).  Gage was sick on his birthday, so he wasn’t exactly the happiest little beaner.  But here’s the documentation, none the less.
The last 4 pictures are of Gage (and Micah) opening a box from Grandma and Grandpa Stauffer.  Gagey got some pink jimjams that he didn’t particularly like, so he gave them to Micah. ;)
