Houston is Growing Up

The other day was a big day for Houston. I was holding him, and he was helping me turn off the lights. After everyone he helped me with, I would tell him to say: "I did it!"

Well much to my surprise, he started saying, "I did it!"

I was so surprised! Up to this point, he would say Dada, Buba, bye bye, hi, and an occasional hello. I was expecting him to start saying other small words, like Mama. No, he decided to go with an entire sentence.

Well, I was thoroughly impressed with my little one year old, but he wasn't done giving me surprises yet. Later that day, I was trying to keep him and Hunter entertained. I finally gave Houston a soccer ball to play with.

It was like some natural instinct took over. He kicked that ball around for an hour. I have never seen anything like it. I didn't know that a one year old, could focus on something for that long. We might just have the youngest soccer player in history.

I had to call Jeff at work, to tell him about his amazing son. I couldn't wait to tell him about Houston saying an entire sentence. Jeff was happy about Houston talking, but when I told him about him playing with the soccer ball he was ecstatic! I think he might have gotten a tear in his eye. His little boy is growing up and playing sports!
