January was not really an eventful month. We got back from Idaho and got right back into the swing of things. Brodi started school up again and has been going strong with that. I am staying busy with a couple play groups a week, groceries, bills, knitting, and running around chasing Atticus. He is getting so big. Sadly, he is still not walking yet, but he is crawling really fast. It is so fun being at home playing with him.
We celebrated Atticus' birthday the last Saturday in January and it was a TON of fun. I was running around like crazy getting ready for the party and trying to stay in budget. We decided to go with a dinosaur theme party and I made a lot of the decorations with my Cricut machine, the rest I got all around town. It was pretty stressful, but worth it. I even made his cake! I think it turned out really well. I wasn't able to socialize as much as I would have like to, but that's part of being a host, and I think everyone had fun still. There were about 35 people who who came to his party, and that was keeping it low key. He is so loved :)
Atticus is starting to walk a little more, but he is still not walking on his own. He does really well with a toy or along furniture, but he will only take about 2-3 steps and basically fall into me. He is playing by himself a little better now, which is nice for me so I can actually get some cleaning done and cook diner (occasionally lol) It seems like it is taking forever for him to start saying words, he occasionally says "dada" but he doesn't seem to say "mama" but I think he might be saying a form of Dana because he says "nayna" when trying to get my attention.
