To answer my own poll...
1. At what age did your LO take their first steps? NA but I'm expecting it sooner rather than later.
2. At what age did LO say their first word besides Mama and Dada? NA and I have no idea what the "norm" is on this.
3. What was their first word? NA
4. What would LO have been named if they were the opposite gender? Alexandra
5. Do you still plan to use that name for another kiddo? I don't know, lately I've had a different girl's name stuck in my head (for no apparent reason) so if we ever have a little girl I don't think it would be as simple as recycling our old choice.
6. What comment/compliment do you hear most often about your child? His hair! We hear how happy he is too, but the initial remark is always about his hair. Which is kind of funny too me since it isn't an unusual color or really curly or anything else remarkable he just has a lot of it I guess.
7. What is your LO's middle name? Thomas
8. Who changes more diapers, you or DH? Since Cooper's in school all day, I think we're about even but I think I changed maybe 2 diapers all of last weekend so maybe not!
